curious girl
29 December 2001 - 12:38 am

tomorrow when i wake up i�m finding my brother
and i'll make him take me back down to the water
that lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
i will not desert him.
i will not desert him.
no matter how i may wish for a coffin so clean
or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
the sky has been avoiding me.
i started this letter i�m going to send it to ruba
be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of florida
with her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
she'll recite the prayer of my pen.
saying; time take us forward, relief from this longing
they can land that plane on my heart i don�t care
just give me november, the warmth of a whisper
in the freezing darkness of my room.
but no matter what i would do in an attempt to replace
all the pills that i take trying to balance my brain
i've seen the curious girl with that look on her face
so surprised she stares out from her display case.

     -bright eyes

once i thought that feeling was the center of the universe.  there's a way of looking at anything that can turn it inside out.  for every thing that seems the most important there is a universe bigger than it.  like layers.

i am the thing that goes on.

love.
