Good Morning, August

lyrics

Good morning, August
leaves collapse and then collect,
crush beneath the steps I take away
I am ultimately ordinary-
guys like me get buried every day

winter approaches like an awkward version of myself in High school towards a girl-
the rattling of knees, another reason to concede
unraveled by the magic of you

Postcards from the women I’ve known
scattered haphazardly on the road
but the one down to hell I am told is paved with good intentions
and I’ve got none of those hanging around
I grew up into what I am now
half humiliated, half proud of the men that I have known myself in

take me back into a dream
where everything is still the same but just a little different
it’s just me and your mother
and your father
and your father’s father but we’re under water
we are swiming in their favorite daughter

I am mercilessly bound-
it is my destiny to drown in you
there’s nothing I can do

I stand unknown among the stones
They write their poems in me like lines I barely can recall from all those

Postcards from the women I’ve known
August, September and on
through seasons that have come and gone
I keep on watching and waiting
and I’m too old to be innocent now
I’m too sick of myself to be proud
You are, maybe, the only way out of myself that I’ve found
