MAKING FACES


on the day i was born

there was a rain coming down

and a fog walked 

the water of the fox


metal cars made a braid

of their way around town

there is fog setting foot 

on the docks


i believe things happen for a reason

that if you seek, you too will be found

by the hunter in your season

he purrs and puts the key in

blood oranges for bloodier hounds


there is a piece of the deer

in the passenger seat

even the moon cannot see 

through the smoke 


still my terrapin heart

hide your head in my head

we're alive. idiot god

and his jokes


i believe things happen for a reason

that if you seek, you too will be found

by the hunter in your season

he purrs and puts the key in

blood oranges for bloodier hounds


such a steam on the street

that had baked in the sun

danced away with

like a children in the rain 


making faces at the fog

i will fish with a gun

drinking dishwater

canes for legs


i believe things happen for a reason

that if you seek, you too will be found

by the hunter in your season

he purrs and puts the key in

blood oranges for bloodier hounds


on the day i was born 

with a rain on my tongue

and a fog walking

water to the fox


today a man got his hand

caught inside the machine

like a key eaten up by a lock


i believe things happen for a reason

that if you seek, you too will be found

by the hunter in your season

he purrs and puts the key in

blood oranges for bloodier hounds

blood oranges for bloodier hounds


on the day i was born

there was a rain coming down

on the day i was born

there was a rain coming down
