solidify

pouring in and around the great wellspring

of simple feeling

and i need bearings in the face of your

cool cool fire

walking backwards with the pounding of your voice

makes my soul tired

and concrete is

as concrete doesn't

and voices can drown

why should i

solidify

make me real

so you can see me

i guess you thought

i'd hide the sun from my liquid thoughts and

make ice for you

you thought i'd seed my clouds

with the rain of your personal dreams

i guess you thought i'd throw confetti

at your parade of lofty thoughts

i guess you thought i'd shine good morning

in some good morning jack

surprise

why should i

solidify

make me real

so you can see me
