Oktoberfest

I look at the picture
I know I shouldn’t
It’s masochistic
We were happy then, and I know that we are not now
22 words, so concise
They don’t say too much
You might think it’s nice
How they don’t explain the hints that you’ve been leaving
And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind
Fact and fiction, liquid solid, nothing here that’s too defined
The trees are bare, Oktoberfest
Perhaps some beers, did you have their best?
You’ve sampled all the wares I have to offer
If my humble goods are no good for you
Do your worst, say it’s through
I don’t want to be on the leash that you’re leading
And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind
Fact and fiction, liquid solid, nothing here that’s too defined
I’ll take another draft, the wind is cold, why do you stay outside?
You make no sense, your picket fence crumbles on your neighbor’s side
I’ve been pounding cobblestones
I don’t know what I hope to find
Not too drunk to think that you would ever cease to be unkind
I’ll take another draft, the wind is cold, why do you stay outside?
Fact and fiction, liquid solid, nothing here that’s too defined
(And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind)
In your mind
In my mind
(And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind)
Are you mine?

Autumn's Bounty
05:19
|
|||
The sun rises in a wreath of clouds over the bay
October yields old warmth to crisp, cold lapping waves
Still I cling to blankets of heat that you left behind
Cold coverings, mildewed cobweb spine
The ship’s in the harbor
The ship’s in the harbor
It will take you farther than near
Here’s December, his leachy ice slipping beneath my skin
Fall on my ass, the embarrassment’s thin
January’s coming blizzards are burials for these flowers
Flowers planted to warm me in the deepest freeze
The ship’s in the harbor
The ship’s in the harbor
Deliver me cargo that will keep, my dear
It’s in the offing
It’s in the offing
Offer me one last fire
Autumn’s bounty in the harbor
Autumn’s bounty in the harbor
Autumn’s bounty in the harbor
Autumn’s bounty in the harbor
Autumn’s bounty in the offing
Autumn’s bounty in the offing
Autumn’s bounty in the harbor
Autumn’s bounty in the harbor
Autumn’s bounty in the offing
Autumn’s bounty in the offing
Autumn’s bounty in the offing
Autumn’s bounty in the offing
The ship’s in the harbor
The ship’s in the harbor
It will take you farther than near
It’s in the offing
It’s in the offing
Offer me one last fire
