Awake. Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day and choose the sign of your day the days divinity First thing you see. A vast radiant beach and cooled jeweled moon Couples naked race down by its quiet side And we laugh like soft, mad children Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy The music and voices are all around us. Choose they croon the Ancient Ones the time has come again choose now, they croon beneath the moon beside an ancient lake Enter again the sweet forest Enter the hot dream Come with us everything is broken up and dances. Indians scattered, On dawns highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child’s Fragile eggshell mind We have assembled inside, This ancient and insane theater To propagate our lust for life, And flee the swarming wisdom of the streets. The barns have stormed The windows kept, And only one of all the rest To dance and save us From the divine mockery of words, Music inflames temperament. Ooh great creator of being Grant us one more hour, To perform our art And perfect our lives. We need great golden copulations, When the true kings murderers Are allowed to roam free, A thousand magicians arise in the land Where are the feast we are promised? One more thing Thank you oh lord For the white blind light Thank you oh lord For the white blind light A city rises from the sea I had a splitting headache From which the futures made

Strange days have found us And through their strange hours We linger alone Bodies confused Memories misused As we run from the day To a strange night of stone

Lions in the street and roaming Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming A beast caged in the heart of a city The body of his mother Rotting in the summer ground He fled the town He went down South and crossed the border Left chaos and disorder Back there over his shoulder One morning he awoke in a green hotel With a strange creature groaning beside him Sweat oozed from its shining skin Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin Wake up! You cant remember where it was Had this dream stopped?

Well I used to know someone fair She had orange ribbons in her hair She was such a trip, she was hardly there But I loved her, just the same There was rain in our window The FM set was ragged But she could talk, yeah We learned to speak And one year has gone by Such a long, long road to seek it All we did was break and freak it We had all that lovers ever had We just blew it and Im not sad Well, Im mad and Im bad And two years have gone by Now her world was bright orange And the fire glowed And her friend had a baby And she lived with us Yeah, we broke through the window Yeah, we knocked on the door Her phone would not answer Yeah, but shes still home Now her father has passed over And her sister is a star And her mother smokes diamonds And she sleeps out in the car Yeah, but she remembers Chicago The musicians and guitars And grass by the lake And people who laughed And made her poor heart ache Now we live down in the valley We work out on the farm We climb up to the mountains And everythings fine and Im still here And youre still there and were still around
Lions in the street and roaming Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming A beast caged in the heart of a city The body of his mother Rotting in the summer ground He fled the town He went down South and crossed the border Left chaos and disorder Back there over his shoulder One morning he awoke in a green hotel With a strange creature groaning beside him Sweat oozed from its shining skin Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin Wake up! You cant remember where it was Had this dream stopped? The snake was pale gold, glazed and shrunken We were afraid to touch it The sheets were hot dead prisms And she was beside me Old, shes no, young Her dark red hair, the white soft skin Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom Look! shes coming in here I cant live through each slow century of her moving I let my cheek slide down, the cool smooth tile Feel the good cold stinging blood The smooth hissing snakes of rain Once I had a little game I liked to crawl back in my brain I think you know, the game I mean I mean the game, called, Go insane You should try this little game Just close your eyes forget your name Forget the world, forget the people And well erect, a different steeple This little game is fun to do Just close your eyes, no way to lose And Im right there, Im going too Release control, were breaking through Way back deep into the brain Back where theres never any pain And the rain falls gently on the town And over the heads of all of us And in the labyrinth of streams Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of Gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around Reptiles abounding Fossils, caves, cool air heights Each house repeats a mold, windows rolled Beast car locked in against morning All now sleeping Rugs silent, mirrors vacant Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples Wound in sheets And daughters, smug With semen eyes in their nipples Wait Theres been a slaughter here Dont stop to speak or look around Your gloves and fan are on the ground Were getting out of town, were going on the run And youre the one I want to come Not to touch the earth Not to see the sun Nothing left to do, but Run, run, run Lets run, lets run House upon the hill, moon is lying still Shadows of the trees Witnessing the wild breeze Cmon baby run with me Lets run Run with me Run with me Run with me Lets run The mansion is warm at the top of the hill Rich are the rooms and the comforts there Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs And you wont know a thing till you get inside Dead Presidents corpse in the drivers car The engine runs on glue and tar Cmon along, were not going very far To the East to meet the Czar Run with me Run with me Run with me Lets run Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake The ministers daughters in love with the snake Who lives in a well by the side of the road Wake up, girl! Were almost home We should see the gates by mornin We should be inside by evening Sun, sun, sun Burn, burn, burn Burn, burn, burn I will get you Soon, soon, soon I am the lizard king I can do anything We came down The rivers and highways We came down from Forests and falls We came down from Carson and Springfield We came down from Phoenix enthralled And I can tell you The names of the Kingdom I can tell you The things that you know Listening for a fistful of silence Climbing valleys into the shade For seven years, I dwelt In the loose palace of exile Playing strange games with the girls of the island Now, I have come again To the land of the fair and the strong and the wise Brothers and sisters of the pale forest Children of night Who among you will run with the hunt? Now night arrives with her purple legion Retire now to your tents and to your dreams Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth I want to be ready
Angels and sailors Rich girls, backyard fences, tents Dreams watching each other narrowly Soft luxuriant cars Girls in garages, stripped Out to get liquor and clothes Half gallons of wine and six packs of beer Jumped, humped, born to suffer Made to undress in the wilderness I will never treat you mean Never start no kind of scene Ill tell you Every place and person that Ive been Always a playground instructor Never a killer Always a bridesmaid On the verge of fame or over He manuevered two girls Into his hotel room One a friend The other, the young one A newer stranger Vaguely Mexican or Puerto Rican Poor boys thighs and buttocks Scarred by a fathers belt Shes trying to rise Story of her boyfriend Of teenage stoned death games Handsome lad, dead in a car Confusion No connections Come here I love you Peace on earth Will you die for me? Eat me This way The end Ill always be true Never go out, sneaking out on you, babe If youll only show me Far Arden again Im surprised you could get it up He whips her lightly, sardonically with belt Havent I been through enough? she asks Now dressed and leaving The Spanish girl begins to bleed; She says her period Its Catholic heaven I have an ancient Indian crucifix around my neck My chest is hard and brown Lying on stained, wretched sheets With a bleeding virgin We could plan a murder Or start a religion
Resident mockery Give us an hour for magic We of the purple glove We of the starling flight and velvet hour We of arabic pleasures breed We of sundome and the night Give us a creed To believe A night of Lust Give us trust in The Night Give of color Hundred hues A rich Mandala For me and you And for your silky Pillowed house A head, wisdom And a bed Troubled decree Resilent mockery Has claimed thee We used to believe In the good old days We still receive In little ways The Things of Kindness And unsporting brow Forget and allow
The music was new, black polished chrome And came over the summer like liquid night The DJs took pills to stay awake And play for seven days They went to the studio And someone knew him Someone knew the TV showman He came to our homeroom party And played records and when he left In the hot noon sun And walked to his car We saw the Chooks had written F-U-C-K on his windshield He wiped it off with a white rag And smiling cooly drove away Hes rich Got a big car

Curses, Invocations Weird bate-headed mongrels I keep expecting one of you to rise Large buxom obese queen Garden hogs and cunt veterans Quaint cabbage saints Shit hoarders and individualists Drag strip officials Tight lipped losers and Lustful fuck salesman My militant dandies All strange orders of monsters Hot on the trail of the woodvine We welcome you to our procession Here come the Comedians Look at them smile Watch them dance an Indian mile Look at them gesture How aplomb So to gesture everyone Words dissemble Words be quick Words resemble walking sticks Plant them they will grow Watch them waver so Ill always be a word man Better then a bird man
for leather accrues The miracle of the streets The scents & smogs & pollens of existence Shiny blackness so totally naked she was Totally un-hung-up We looked around lights now on Top see our fellow travellers ~~~ I am troubled Immeasurably By your eyes I am struck By the feather of your soft Reply The sound of glass Speaks quick Disdain And conceals What your eyes fight To explain ~~~ She looked so sad in sleep Like a friendly hand just out of reach A candle stranded on a beach While the sun sinks low an H-bomb in reverse ~~~ Everything human is leaving her face Soon she will disappear into the calm vegetable morass Stay! My Wild Love! ~~~ I get my best ideas when the telephone rings & rings. It’s no fun To feel like a fool-when your baby’s gone. A new ax to my head: Possession. I create my own sword of Damascus. I’ve done nothing w/time. A little tot prancing the boards playing w/Revolution. When out there the World awaits & abounds w/heavy gangs of murderers & real madmen. Hanging from windows as if to say: I’m bold- do you love me? Just for tonight. A One Night Stand. A dog howls & whines at the glass sliding door (why can’t I be in there?) A cat yowls. A car engine revs & races against the grain- dry rasping carbon protest. I put the book down- & begin my own book. Love for the fat girl. When will SHE get here? ~~~ In the gloom In the shady living room where we lived & died & laughed & cried & the pride of our relationship took hold that summer What a trip To hold your hand & tell the cops you’re not 16 no runaway The wino left a little in the old blue desert bottle Cattle skulls the cliche of rats who skim the trees in search of fat Hip children invade the grounds & sleep in the wet grass ’til the dogs rush out I’m going South!

A military station in the desert. Can we resolve the past - Lurking jaws joints of time - The base - to come of age in a dry place - Holes and caves. My friend drove an hour Each day from the mountains. The bus gives you a hard-on With books in your lap. Someone shot the bird In the afternoon dance show. They gave out free records To the best couple. Spades dance best, from the hip.
Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young childs fragile egg-shell mind Blood in the streets In the town of New Haven Blood stains the roofs And the palm trees of Venice Blood in my love In the terrible summer Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A Blood screams her brain As they chop off her fingers Blood will be born In the birth of a nation Blood is the rose of Mysterious union Blood on the rise Its following me Indian, Indian What did you die for? Indian says nothing at all Gently they stir Gently rise The dead are new-born awakening With ravaged limbs And wet souls Gently they sigh In rapt funeral amazement Who called these dead to dance? Was it the young woman Learning to play the Ghost Song In her baby grand Was it the wilderness children? Was it the Ghost-God himself Stuttering, cheering Chatting blindly? I called you up to Annoint the earth I called you to announce Sadness falling like Burned skin I called you to wish you well To glory in self like a new monster And now I call on you to pray
Lets swim to the moon Uh-huh Lets climb thru the tide Penetrate the evenin that the city sleeps to hide Lets swim out tonight, love Its our turn to try Parked beside the ocean On our moonlight drive Lets swim to the moon Uh-huh Lets climb thru the tide Surrender to the waiting worlds that lap against our side Nothing left open And no time to decide Weve stepped into a river On our moonlight drive Lets swim to the moon Lets climb thru the tide You reach a hand to hold me But I cant be your guide Easy to love you as I watch you glide Falling through wet forests On our moonlight drive Moonlight drive Cmon, baby, gonna take a little ride Goin down by the ocean side Gonna get real close Get real tight Baby gonna drown tonight Goin down, down, down
