Giant’s walkaway

The giant and the girl in red dress

Once a day the sun walks down the giant steps at river’s south
and fire ants begin to crawl and drag along theirs joyful friends, letting go of all pretense,
on the bottom of a bottle they put dreams and let it float,
and runners run and rollers roll and clouds will go and skies won’t fall,
and all the songs I’ve listened told me where to go,
the gorgeous and the guy and fountains of a kind remind me of a taste I used to share,
long before I saw her eyes and long before she’s gone
I’ve searched myself for signs and burned a candle to The Lord,
did you ever strike the chord or will you always play in Re Bemol?

Once a year the giants walk along the evening sun,
the game is tight and no one knows what they’ll come to find,
you never dress in red for it has been told to be bad and so believes your dad,
I’ll kiss you on the cheek and write a letter to say goodbye
and I’ll drop the brick I carried in my chest for at least 9 months,
for I am a rock and I will change for nothing and for no one anytime,
only rain will care for me and wash away my dirt and stain
and the weight I put on things will build borders to the sin…

260 miles of blue

I fell deep into the horse’s fountain and got yellow stains on fingers and small clothes of elvish green,
it’s time to run again in fields of thoughts that gather up like white clouds only to dismantle,
cars and trains and motors can’t sustain my thirst of wonder and only fuel the frequency of dreams,
and 260 miles are never ever far enough to lose myself into that great cold blue…
I squeeze the air and call for wolves to run my sleigh over all these troubled waters that remain untouched,
where do I gather up the wood for fire for the upcoming winter and where will I stop to make a fire?
miles and miles they asked me yesterday to crawl, to forget the ash of letters and the face of ink,
but memories are lighthouse to the sin and innocence may be a foreign traveler never to return,
I will give them something to remember, flash and blood and poetry on stair steps of stone,
and in the size of all things that still matter I will lock it with a question in a prison they’ve not seen,
miles and miles into the great deep blue, where will I gather all that wood and where will I start that fire?
