Anasazi in the sky
ridgetops written in an ancient light
in a tongue —
of another time
A tempered valley slowly groans
growin on a web of concrete bones
in his ways —
and he won’t be phased
I’m not in your way
so bring me into this new day
take your time and we’ll end it just great
if i ever break down i could burn this place, but hey
taste this
truth of ages
Across space, across the plains
canyons of juniper and fields of sage
across time — and all the souls that dwelled here
it’s like a spirits memoriam graveyard
My faith
will sacrifice my whole life and my assets
but if it’s done right I could mean the difference
between good and wrong
but where is that line you draw in the sand
— In the desert sand
Anasazi in the sky

growin on a web of concrete bones
in his ways —
and he won’t be phased

take your time and we’ll end it just great
if i ever break down i could burn this place, but hey

it’s like a spirits memoriam graveyard
My faith
will sacrifice my whole life and my assets
but if it’s done right I could mean the difference
between good and wrong
but where is that line you draw in the sand
— Way out in the desert sand
I hear the desert callin my name
in the woods it’s never the same
here it’s always cinders and rain
out in the desert — always the same

no one will ever take this away from me
my sense of sanity
Ohio is the land that i breathe and i breed
i can't pretend to be anything less than what i am--
to be anything less than what i am
who are you-- to question us?
when i ain't seen you in four seasons
where we you when your students needed you?
where were you when your people were cold and bleedin?
where were you when your daughters were left outside?
all the people said they cared for you and then they died
i weep for the lost little cherub
i weep for the most meek of them
i will hope to be just one like you
hope that i leave this world and i float along, but
don't go too far
