little bug, do you need a hug?
i know that look and what yr always afraid of:
a low hum coming from everyone
you had three friends at this party
and it looks like they went home
standing like a ladder propped up by a doorway
fearful of what happens after -- you could step outside to thank the host
a short trip to the grocery store by the bar
to pick up a couple basics on a government card
you grabbed a large sweet potato
it was smellin kinda smokey so you put with the coffe
don't you look at me like that
just because it is behind you doesn't mean it's in the past
you grabbed a large yellow onion

you felt it crawlin under yr skin
you burned it off the clothes yr livin in
the laundromat is only down the street
think of all the people that you could meet
there was an angel born on cherry street
it only happens twice a century
we took a train to see if it was true
the pigs were out in force but we were too
abc, cnn, and other acronyms came to her side
she saw the state of the street and opened her mouth to speak:
"what a bad sign, the devil take these eyes of mine"

i cannot believe what has happened to me since you moved out
I'm feelin good n wellunderstoodatleastforthemost paaaart
but there is a weakness that resides
close to my soul when i stay inside
when i don't leave my home and live on my phone
what i read in scripture once made me figure i'd never believe
in what makes the world go beyond what i know and what i can see
but i think im beginning to understand
what it looks like when God would extende Her hand
so I drink with my friends in the park and pray in the dark

some days there is a reason to get up and go to sleep
others are much harder when the bottom feels so deep
and some will give you thinkings you will never understand
but i know that i'll be somehow fine
as long as you're my friend
when winter comes a creeping there are reasons to feel joy
you can wrap around a pillow like a child's favorite toy
the heat will be much cheaper if we sleep in the same bed
and I feel far less like dying every time you kiss my head
who's in love
when you were only four months old yo tumbled down the stairs
you were driven to the doctor, I had never felt so scared
you had just broken you're clavicle because your bones were soft
had you landed at a different angle, I would feel so lost
I wonder if our father is still weighted down with guilt
from the failure of a baby gate he didn't even build
he briefly turned his back so he could flip the bedroom light
but you were bound for exploration and the dream of taking flight
who's your bud
you are my bud
we dancing to count basie in my parents' living room
I can feel your arms around my neck and clearly hear the tune
it was haunted, it was heavy, it was blowing in the breeze
it was signing of a season in a place I'll never see
