Gabriel picks the dirt from the cracks
in his hands from the last thirty years
as he dips them into the Vaseline
sees the fissures beginning to bleed
into the white like he’s signing his name
onto the face of the common soil!the common soil!
Sedona’s not the common soil!
Now he’s getting lightheaded
a false sense of motion that terminates here
on the bed with two coins to cover his eyes
for the energy master
Something shifts in this sleep
Shifts like parting clouds
Light cast on a mortal soul
Dead weight in the chapparal
You get so weak you start to doubt your talent
(One more song to ring through the heavens)
So long Urantia
(One more song to purge the aggression)
(From the primal earth, primal earth, Sedona’s not the primal earth)
This is the earthquake you have long been promised
If the Bright and Morning Star gets scared away
If everyone you know is also laid to waste
Will you still get to have a birthday party?
Maybe you don’t know this happens every day
The world you’ve built exists to take you away
It’s a passenger, passenger, passenger, passenger plane

The light on my wall is growing greener
The light in my eyes is muted and gray
I’m not always fit to play receiver
To what’s projected on me by the day
A canvas was stretched over the window
To hide me from it when I was kid
I peer through the fabric of my raincoat
I’ve never been more protected than this
The light on my face arrives and exits
That’s not the problem, I’m volatile too
My risk is in trying to connect it
To everything else in my field of view
It’s colorful now, I pay attention
The eye at midnight is no eye at all
I’m only as good as my perception
I’m only looking as far as the wall
