Lyrics:
If today was a coin I’d spend it on bread in a market stall
To break by the river with butter and salt
You’d tear me a piece with your fingers and tell me
That flour and water and yeast
Conspired to build a cathedral inside of a crust
Isn’t that just like you looking for God in a boule?
If his face was a map she’d bend it to see if the lashes lead
To treasure that’s buried northwest of a cheek
He winks and the crease in the coordinates tells her
Wander his dimples like creeks
They all empty into the Ocean of Terror and Trust
Or would you rather get lost in the mysterious woods of his chin?
If our past is a stone let’s skip it and let our words wash ashore
Like pearls in a net at the back of our throats
I choked on my poetry’s efforts to tell you
But somebody sings in the crowd,
“Make the spring tide at La Jolla in a bucket of rust”
It’s funny how some things I’ve said find their way back to your mouth
So long after I’ve cried them out
