those darker days of salvation & prayer


and out there in the frozen
sunlight we wanted to be beautiful
or maybe just loved
but there was never any time

the car was in the shop and
the rent was late

the drugs didn’t work any more

i was sick of poetry and you were
tired of starving and
between us we knew all the words to
every song dee dee ever wrote

we believed in the myths even
after they’d been disproved

didn’t seem like too big a price to
pay for immortality

didn’t feel like spring
with snow in the forecast

baby was hungry and
the windows all broken

christ was a story i refused
to find comfort in

just one more beaten dog
crawling towards an unhappy ending
