lyrics

Palpitating Your Fears

I am not the palpitating moment of your fears.
Come, measure me in your tears of joy
In the landscape of friendship I am immensely small and terribly deep
I want to freeze the road of your pain
find the squirrel hard to disaffect ??????
the solitude of ignorance
I want to bury your feelings in an envelope of forgetfulness
wholeness, forgiveness, all those things that are ness

After the act of being whole, give me your past loss
I will fill it with wonder

I am not the palpitating moment of your fears.
I will file it in the amazement of phantoms

Carry it, your fear
to the flower offerings of May
in a small town in a foreign country
Perfume it, your fear.
In the distance of absence
email it to God.

Uninterrupted washing silence
from my life
bleaching stubborn scars from the mind with precision
all the should haves, could haves, dones and undones
wins and unwins
mute indiscretions and taciturn sins
Perhaps and maybes of the past

I am not the palpitating moment of your fears.
I will wait until it appears
The door to cleanliness only you could open
with this mantra:
I am not the palpitating moment of your fears.

The key is in the cloud
The pronoun cloud
Open it.

Because I love you on a deserted island
that is life
I will write to you with a roll of toilet paper

I will write on a cloud for you
like the Chinese women brocaded their lavish shirts at night
to not hurt you, I will write of my love to you
on dirt.
I am not the palpitating moment of your fears.
I will mail to you an archive of newly felt kisses.
Through the internet of my heart.
Of my heart
Dissipate your fears
You will know that scars are the shadow aversions of your palpitating words
You are the ring on the broken finger that holds it together.
Your silver lining is not limited to me
It is what I don't think I need that I need,
Precisely what I won't say I need that I need.
Our needs: a heavy porcelain that drowns in ocean water
Deep rides unheard.

In thirst, we all obey our hungers
Our hungers linger.
But understand.
I am not the palpitating moment of your fears.
