Heartbreak Blue

've been away from you for awhile
but i still have your lipstick and you still got your style
i passed your house last thursday
crawling to the virgin mary shrine
the cherry trees looked thirsty
though cherries were divine
we used to conjugate at sunset
to study torah and tiger beat
put makeup over prayer sweat
while the sisters were discrete
oh lou, oh lou
i saw you at the disco, the count of grandma's crisco
oh lou, oh lou
with an 'i heart mom tattoo', in a pair of heels past due
and your sister's old tutu, painted heartbreak blue
you danced on all the tables
and made mary's out of men
in hotel lobbies and in stables
collecting ballpoint business pens
blue blue eyes, behind the counter all night selling pies, pies, pies
the neon light it brightly said 'pies are half price half past ten we like to see
you coming, come again'

Indian Marigolds

ets triple our sales,
i mean, lets hoist up our sales
for a course, on how to break the horse
calm weather holds
over cumberland tolls
a lip balm, bruised with cardamom
like a bear at a piano i fumble for your dress
some italian soprano sings your name and i am blessed
the constant shame of a urine stain, recalls me back to blue
and back to you
and i have had thoughts
that fall on the dots
around your nose, like indian marigolds
a quick summer read, sawdust memories
of when you had the flu
an open wound, from a rogue bassoon,
recalls me back to june
and back to you

Piss Poor

we washed our bed in bones
and midnight tv tones
paused on telephones
with polished teenage groans
the sparks from where we sleep
a kiss from a chimney sweep
we would start a piss poor fire
from all-season chevy tires
and moan like the piano wires
of out of work umpires
and i, have felt the thaw, francois, coal black hair
and you, lips on the straw, au revoir, cold au pair
