I Know Someone Is Listening

The room entombs my silence
I know someone is listening
The walls encase my facelessness
I know someone is listening

My eyes belie my ignorance
I know someone is listening
The truth used to stupidity
I know someone is listening

Solitary, numbed by time
All pictures cloud my soul
Answer me before I fade
As vapor in this hole

I know someone is listening
Someone unbound by time
Glistening in silence too
Another soul like mine

Still LIke You

My mind is a lake
Full of jumping catfish
Spilled-out oil
Loose country girls
Wakes from weird winds
Pee from wild babies
How can I still it
How I want to be
Still like you

My mind is a storm
Cataclysms and vacuums
Lightning and hail
Fronts warm against cold
Target of crossed air
I fly in their crosshairs
How can I still it
How I want to be
Still like you

My mind is on you
Serene in the dawn
Looking upon
A whitening screen
What have you seen
I can still see it
How can I still it
How I want to be
Still like you
