from songs for lauren, released January 15, 2017
korean dogwood around their fortunes
crepe myrtle here and there
she's not wearing matching socks
he's not wearing underwear
blankets are for wintry nights
the braille of hair and sand
a coyote howls at dusk
a cicada in the sand / where'd you go?

close the doors and window locks
he's raging round the room
groping for the first aid kit
to wrap his new tattoo
i would of wound the tourniquet
like someone in the war
i'd practiced it at summer camp
though never knew what for / where'd you go?

that once i let him have it
when you gave it to me
we fucked with the garage door up
so everyone would see
it wasn't fun like i'd imagined
like i thought that it would be
but still i love him as i love you
as i know you that love me / where'd you go?

we went out picking strawberries
the afternoons we'd meet
i didn't know you'd married him
til you jacked me off last week
isn't it fun the way time flies
and carries us away?
i lost my chance in retrospect
because i didn't stay / where'd you go?

in foyers of split-level homes
in jefferson county
coyotes whine at midnight
like boys around fifteen
i heard you knock but wasn't there
when you closed the door
roaming outside in the street at night
mistaking mine for yours / where'd you go?
