This Beautiful Planet
Please tell me that I was a good child
And that I did everything right
And that the atmosphere was exactly certain
I want you to love me
In ways that you never have
So that I become a forgotten world
With rainbow sunrises over dark green trees
And the cooling of the day
Becomes normal again
We will sit and watch the body of water
That we once called a sort of death
You know even in my dreams
You say I’ll never get it right
This is not a dream
We are burning here with no escape
But no matter how many times
They talk about the moon
It does not take a poet
To know that the moon
Is still only an illusion
Only an illusion
The moon calls out to all of us
Come back, it says
But we don’t hear it
Already on our way
To somewhere

Green, how I want you green.
—Lorca
I am sorry I let you down
I was writing this poem
In the middle of everything
The way they wanted it
Spring like a gun to the head
Green how I want you
I'm so sorry flower
I let you down
I was a pink warrior
A violent concoction
Someone mixed me up by accident
But don't be sorry for me
Nothing like a lake
To go admire
As you drive past it
On the way to something
A real miracle
And if you showed up here tonight
Like I wanted you to
I wouldn't stop to apologize
I'd embrace you
Without thinking
How I wanted you then
How I still do
Green like I know you better
If I could do it over again
I wouldn't
