Listen to the flavor of bright yellow lilacs
Flattening the raindrops wherever you go
You can see a hundred unusual faces
They all look like strangers til they recognize you
Can you feel it, can you see it,
Then come let us gather some snowflakes together
Watching them melt into cool liquid glass
Sliding down a rainbow of dark green and velvet
Frosty pools of color, you’re lonely at last
Can you feel it, can you see it,
Then you feel you’re floating up into a moonbeam
Suddenly the pattern of things seem to change
Everyone’s flying, the lights flash before you
Blinding you from everyone, where have you been?

Paranoid NightDream

Frozen in my bed
I hear the drunken night hunters
Howling down the mountain,
With their hound dogs mauling
In the cold moonlight
They jump past the distance
Of the hills
Their coal oil lamps
Shoot white and yellow flashes through my head
And flush the prowlers hiding there I run
The hounds behind me sound like
Lumps of flesh are catching in their maws
I run
The hunters yelp and follow hard
I run
I choose my death through barbs and branches
Broken tree trunks, almost yelling from the joy
I run, four-footed, small, important me
I feel the bark caught in my claws
I climb into the screaming brilliance
Of the topmost limb and laugh at God
I am free to raid the night, and dance behind my mask
The hunters crowd the trees,
Their flashlights glaring up to blind the moon
I cannot move
The echo of a gunshot
Moves around the corners of the farthest hill
To report the end of some insignificant thing
