the Oracle 04:11
don’t, don’t cry Billy the misty birds, won’t hurt you. raven kings will bring you rings.. and paper cutouts i’ll make you a crown so everyone knows, i love you i saw you, walking by the river on your way to town, but don’t look at reflections an echo sounds like angry voices but hungry ghosts, are drowning in the rainbow., long ago the ancient crow, asked the oracle he said, a boy i know, is lost in snow storms the lady said, i don’t know what to do with him make him a crown so he knows you love him “D”don’t, don’t cry Billy the misty birds, won’t hurt you. raven kings will bring you rings.. and paper cutouts i’ll make you a crown so everyone knows, i love you

Saturday in the old mill town …. we went out..walked up and down sun shine in Crazy Lakes at a caffe’ we talked to Jake a Russian preacher and a circus clown i met Fellini at the Pizza Queen had a slice and talked about the queen “go for broke” he said to me make a move, climb a tree be yourself or be like me William Green and Jimmy were in town celebrating true love at my house Green met Jimmy at a traffic light waiting for another life have a glass of wine, another glass of wine. ...old man’s vision is mixed with disappointment too much wisdom, too many memories, butchers in churches, soldiers on crutches. sleeping with angels who run away with me

Winter comes but once a year. lovers hold hands in the snow, falling down onto the cars traffic passes in the cold i kissed a boy in Winter weather sometimes we would get together watch the children build snow men charcoal eyes could see forever my Winter mind was lost in weather white snow covered streets in winter we built a snow man together charcoal eyes could see forever charcoal eyes… charcoal eyes watched the falling snow, and traffic in the cold traffic in the cold

Waltz in 4 03:42
dancing in the dark me and my pal looking for a light (gotta light) and cigarettes the light is green like trees in the park and falling leaves and falling leaves kissing in the night turning like a waltz we glide down a path following the lights the light is green spinning like leaves dancing in the dark a nightingale… dancing in the dark me and my pal looking for a light (gotta light) and cigarettes

……………………… running for cover waiting for music waiting for lovers all of us here truth and illusion ….. …………………… songs of midsummer dreams from the universe singing for supper friends fade away fade away and appear wind ………………… wind in his hair lovers and brothers shadows in sunshine sun in a blue sky red wine and white wine br. ……………………… running for cover waiting for music waiting for lovers all of us here truth and illusion

all of the world, wraps around my fingers when i’m calling Harry but Harry doesn’t hear me and in that swirl , something moving in the wind and something moving in the world keeps me from sleeping —walk on water, walk on wine back and forth, i’ll dance in time when Harry see me, please believe me shoot me with an arrow, Sagittarius, all of my wings, keep me from falling into the fiery lake in the Valley of Fear thy rod and thy staff only trip me up but shapes on pages cheer me up —walk on water, walk on wine back and forth, i’ll dance in time when Harry see me, please believe me shoot me with an arrow, Sagittarius,
