a piece of mind

Fitting a piece of your mind

Carpenter father, figured he'd have the time

You struggled to sift out the lie

made nice with politics, made time to think

A space in this cupboard for now

coffee and cameos for the hometown

a life indecision to get out of crowds

a rounded block of wood

A hardening heart, late December

remember to pray if for only a minute

bedtime and bravery, baggage for baby

a place to call our own

The ashes, the fire, an album

forgot what I was doing here

maybe it's fine if she says it's fine

but maybe I don't know the difference

When I died in a dream it kept going

the old atom bomb and my mangled shelter

a youth for a pastors kid

a problem you said you'd solve

but the mysteries growing our the fire

the family sits close and the flames just get hotter

A waxing moon like feeling

minding the pasting 

complaining, unwinding

we felt the wind at our backs

and spoke of the things we haven't done yet
