The Geranium Hotel Poems

I'm the real reason As the world erodes And I can feel what I need While I see the point Lasers come from who you are The man you have grown to be I know the real thing has yet to come But as the jeans are pulled off The rain seems to fall backwards And love conquers none LOVE CONQUERS NONE El conquistador where are you? Smoking bullet shells left on a stage With you in the yellow I become a reason A shadow for the nightmare to call Another madness that needs naming The movement in the mirror Leading you amongst the dust There is one valley none know of A number that is infinity's everything The graceful beginning The tattered but proud ending With lasers coming from the sound of your steps I know the man you are The man you have grown to be

You can't grasp but you gasp the earth swallows and you are on your way Walkings mine Mornings fine Lovers take theirs And we should take the real estate Peach orchard Things get too hard Some days need warnings Some boys need aeroplanes

Im found turned up on the couch Next to you while you watch Bond I have the land of Oz under my tongue There is no where for this day to run Except out I can touch my own sense of daily pattern And I know this town like I know my own information I can hear the music I want to hear And I feel myself grow bigger In every way Sulky countries aren't too far away One tin plane and one dead month I can hear the moments and I don't know if you will get the postcard I know where the sun is I know where it will set There is every chance I will wish at least one wish tonight And with all those horses waiting for their riders It makes me wonder It makes me think of what is best And the drummer shouldn't worry Like the blue eyed that scan the page looking for the saved soul We can find it Planes fly a long way We walk along dirt paths And the crescent eyes are guided by words that are said to the hills I can think of the sun I can think of the speakers Spanish
