Jealous Of the Birds

Goji Berry Sunset

Jealous Of the Birds


Goji berry sunset
That’s how it all started
Sitting on the lakeside
Talking about old times
Arms laced with red thread
Forget the things that I said
Quote a line from Tennyson
Poetry is medicine

Your name fizzes on my tongue
Oh your name, it fizzes on my tongue
Damn that name

Walk through the bluebells
Pollen dust and pastels
Bury the Bible
Now you’re being tribal
We told too many bad jokes
Sherbet laughs and cold coke
Maybe you’re my favorite
I like the beard, don’t shave it

Your name fizzes on my tongue
Oh your name, it fizzes on my tongue
Your name fizzes on my tongue
Damn that name
