unwind

523/1996

smoke swirling confusion
always surrounding me
blood red contusion
what can it be
hat up on the head
hiding all this hair
don’t pity the dead
now we must care
happiness at times unreal
always strings attached
take a chance spin the wheel
still nothing to catch
clouds tell many stories
listen to the sound
some of them get gory
what is it that’s found
whistle a tune
mixed up in the mind
howling moon
wind unwind

spool tight
under foot
dark of night
nothing to put
faith in the sky
awful mess
won’t ask why
won’t confess
mixed in a bag
all I own
enjoying a drag
alone
what’s the feeling
the one when sun set
what’s being stolen
hold any regret
wish I knew
reason for this
into clear view
and a deceptive snake hiss
whistle a tune
mixed up mind
howling moon
wind unwind

no time to think
emotion overload
dare to blink
figure out the code
silence unwanted
happiness pain
remaining undaunted
feeling in vain
wrong time always
when will we learn
to stop these days
surely they must burn
fire started
no argument came
everything becomes retarded
what’s my name
whistle a tune
mixed up mind
howling moon
wind unwind

admonish this now
forgiven before
really don’t know how
to find the door
when we find it
will we leave
don’t mind
no trick in a sleeve
sparkle in eye
friendships are tight
stare at the sky
darkest May night
wear the black hat
stealing from the poor
guilty (not that)
not anymore
whistle a tune
mixed up mind
howling wind
wind unwind

scatter brain vision
acting as we must
confusion makes the incision
we might even bust
and might never understand
thinking too much
no money can buy
the feeling (can’t touch)
impossible dream
thought it was real
thieves we may seem
we know not to steal
time is on our side
got more than many
feeling will subside
answers (not any)
whistle my tune
mixed up mind
howling moon
wind unwind. . .
