A ball of string
The embroidered flower
The resting place of the zero hour
The gaseous phase
The utility knife
The mason bag
The catheter
The saw tooth and the creek clay
The truth serum
The sound you say
The dung stove and the handshake
Tha landing strip on the glowing lake
The hair pill
The memorial cloud
The stiff neck to the internal town
The church pew at the landfill
The buzzards meet on the poison hill
The devil sweeps the highway
O let me hear the sound you say
Skylab
The inhabited cave
Chaced by ghosts from coast to coast
Bury me in my overcoat
Sway me with the sound you say
The ball-point pen to the notebook page
A drink of tap water and a promise made
I'll be back in a year or two
Don't wait for me
I wouldn't wait for you
Depth of field going flat
The map puts me where I'm at
I miss you in a chemical
But most of all
I miss the sound you say
