Intergalactic Message

A distant star returned to earth, to gather the rest of her dust
left behind, with nails and arms, she steals the rest of us
I lay right down and tap the ground, convinced that I'd been had
the star she hears
and turns around
to say its not so bad
"For I have been
nothing and all, over and over again
To stop and take a fall
is where a wish begins
And you, your hands make lovely sound
so let the music play
For you too will find yourself
by giving it all away"

The Other Woman

The other woman who keeps you occupied
time tearing off your nails
I stole a drink, a starry ceiling was our witness
a wink and conversation that makes me think
the other woman is there to give you all the missing pieces the puzzle didn't come with
you can't return
the other woman
scribbling in the blanks with meanings
adjectives and needs I never knew you could fill, wanted that kind of complication
Go on and dance with her and take her home and love her
cause your complaints are only as real
as the king cursing his dull coins
And arrows will never pierce such a greedy heart
for I should have realized I was the other woman from the start.
