She Knows

She

Like the moon

pissed or acting so


Yellow moon


coming up over the hedges


Mohawk shadows
from basement stairs

Painted blue

sidewalks
walking

downtown


I fell into bushes

and swam out drunk

in a lake of stars

avoiding cadences

Cover for all that is never done

and so knowing so

Pantoom for Alta

Today I got gonged by life
And it never feels good to get gonged
Even if the gonging can't be helped
I would like to think it would never happen

And it never feels good to get gonged
By the one you care about deeply
I would like to think it would never happen
Then it does and crushes your spirit

By the one you care about deeply
Who has lost the pulse of the moment
Then it does and crushes your spirit
And somehow you must regain a happy life

Who has lost the pulse of the moment
Replace this feeling with love and confidence
And somehow you must regain a happy life
The new world is always being born

Replace this feeling with love and confidence
To walk through life again with ease
The new world is always being born
A new child is always coming through

To walk through life again with ease
Then know a smile when it returns
A new child is always coming through
The voice of reason is always in replacement

Then know a smile when it returns
A shock like thunder from inside
The voice of reason is always in replacement
Help is always available to those asking

A shock like thunder from inside
All this abundance of confidence and love
Help is always available to those asking
Today I got gonged by life
