about

"The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something. As long as you yearn, you can't congeal: There is a forward motion to yearning." - Gail Godwin

lyrics

Yearning for Yearning

Farewell all you fey mind-manglers
Who ruined my appetite
Farewell all you carrot-danglers
I could never be yours for life

For you I will always wander
If not in body, even still in mind
For you I will always be a stranger
Out of rhythm with the nesting kind

*

Always in and out of the cat door
I can’t feel things that rest in my hands
Or maybe they’re silk that slides right through

When this lack of friction bores me
I run on parallel tracks
One grounded
One in flashback
But lately I worry
I’m jumping way too often

In my default escape
I’ll probably get stuck someday
Decay inside a private bliss
Like the Caretaker’s crackling waltzes

So many years of non-descript want
Has (sic) compromised my taste buds

Forgive me, it’s not you
I don’t really want anyone
