about

dedicated to John Wieners

lyrics

John got down on his knees
and begged the fireman to be his squeeze
He said a trainload of Hail Marys
Whatever it takes to get me in his sight
and keep the brightness tight

The fireman strayed, the engine flew,
and John was left without a love to do
Eternal recurrence, a skipping record
I live on the highest bed and I watch it burn
It's there I learn

That my heart breaks this wrong way
My heart breaks this wrong way
No one knows why our chapters go that way.

The love and lust, and the wear and tear
breathing out sonnets on the midnight air
The flesh and spirit, a tangled parable
It's never been about a simple cock to suck
or a dose uncut

It's just my heart breaks this wrong way
My heart breaks this wrong way
No one knows why our verses go that way.

Up to the aether, down in the pit,
choking on the wafer while getting off on it
Easter lilacs, purple columbine,
crumpled valentines, well they're quick to mend
and roses bend

But my heart breaks this wrong way
My heart breaks this wrong way
No one knows why our gardens grow that way.
