hold onto your hoodie it was soft, i liked the feeling the sun was out, smelled like new grass i don't wanna go back i forget how you looked i remember how you felt summer feels better up north it feels better as a child you were like a giant to me but that feeling is elsewhere now i looked up, called you "jessie" but the coast belongs to you now i forget everything else but i remember how you felt

her eyes lit up in her room, a gentle joy, or innocent glimmer laughed hard, felt no need to constrain it boy stoned in backyard, loves her bubble voice, wants her there but she won't come just like the guitar player girl who let him see her face he won't see them this winter break poet girl made that very clear but suggest, "wouldn't it be nice?" and reply, "yes it would." and it will remain at that. they'll never wed like they should. the boy has nothing to write songs about now. he'll spend his time searching for a clone of her. a replica which has not yet had to forgive him. because the quality of mercy is not strained.

how the earthen peak stands gracefully out of reach what is it you seek? and will you find it underneath you felt cursed just a second after birth when you're tiny little legs felt the absence of earth you put on a dark hat and hid behind feathers like a raven in autumn shielding itself from weather and it won't end how they like unless we stay distorted in noise if "home" stretches itself you can wear what you like other than your heart on your sleeve mother says, "believe in something" didn't believe in that too much says, "we were all born with one thing" an elegant history in rust say it's over and then you're gone before it's done set it all out in a plan laced with self-actualization so your mind controls your body in the way that i'm used to find yourself doted by a querulous child whose thoughts are bound to give conclusion away push the brown out of my eyes but i'm still gonna hide it all anyway fade into sober mornings with arctic convulsions in either state sorry we spilled the carrot juice, it was probably because of the diamonds in our brain scrap metal boy gonna feel all better says he's goin vegan, but his jacket's leather and he did it all to impress some lady that gave him a look drove him a little crazy says, "i'm part of something now" but not sure just what "but i'm still feelin like dying", guess you have to put up with many more years of the fade in and out could've been worse if he didn't have his wits about says, "know i'm gonna miss what little hope i had left cause it's gonna lay inside a pit again and sink down into a place i find myself in from time to time" "and you don't like my tunes for shivers and amiss" say it's over and then i'm gone before it's done ready to go to the end, or somewhere far away with more waves and a whale to high five me even when at sea, i'll still drag the streets

distance forgets that we don't converse anymore business like this has passed and gone before keep questioning if i made it up my head still i remember cold wind and your hair was warm red like when i stayed at a ranch with my two gay best friends and they cuddled snug in the bed and i laid on the floor, shivering with the dog but it was a nice dog or when i saw the girl with curly hair again after a year and i asked if she wanted some gum, but she didn't kiss me this time, and we saw the raving street preacher and she ordered the chicken breast or the girl with red hair oh, wonder what colour it is now
9.
every time that it's my turn to solo, i get sick cause i lied about swinging the bat, oh i did and please don't wear those low cut tops no more the kid don't know exactly what he wants and none of these people know about the boys i've kissed and none of those boys know if i really loved them people are the same everywhere you go everyone gives themselves some label like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, i'm an artsy sad punk or something whatever just love me or yeah you guys are just like the burn-out and the boy scout, except you aren't from down south or yeah you're just like the boyfriend i set my cousin up with, classic stand-up texan kid (questions without answers) oh please liz harris guide me through this hallway my pants are rose print, jazz man says i dress in f# sunday i put on black on gray on black and mourn my lack of musical talent see the stars each night as a reminder i just wanna be with cinema girl

about

album art by catarina miranda / myxo

cold drone blues expanded is taking 50 minutes out of a quiet wednesday to go hiking and you look and see the world around you until it begins to rain and you take off your hat and you know you can’t cry and you just finished reading the metamorphosis and you feel dizzy, and you’re cold and sweating and hurt and rosy AND complete and unattractive and you become yourself just a little bit more and you feel alright.

and today it is foggy, and it is icy.
