we sailed with the pilgrims

[[ a drinking song? no idea. it just came out this way. ]]


we sailed with the pilgrims
but not what you think 
for we were all pilgrims 
alone on the drink

we sailed with the pilgrims
but not how it sounds 
for we were all pilgrims 
lost in the rounds

looking for a home from the sea
looking for a sea that would carry us home
looking for daylight after the moonlight
looking for dark under the big starry dome

with the scouring sky hanging over
with the swallowing sea shore to shore
with the dread of the known close behind
with the dread of the unknown before

we sailed with the pilgrims
but none of us pure 
for we were all pilgrims 
in need of a cure

we sailed with the pilgrims
but none of us good 
for we were all pilgrims 
in need of a bed

intentional love song 17: the whole bed



he thinks 
she steals all the covers

he thinks 
she takes the whole bed

she feels
like lovers should be lovers

she feels 
alone in her head

she reaches -- 
he slides away

she pulls 
the blanket in like a net 
and finds the net empty again

she is
alone on the sea
