Let Me

Let the bands all play

and the carousel horses forever turn.

Let senseless circles gape ooh

in brass ring constellations

of dipsomanical ambition.

Let it all fall out 

like teeth pouring out of

the hole in my arm.

Let them all be free

and let them never know me.

Let all the doors be flung open

and the walls be made of wind.

Let the universe of words

chalkboard scratched into 

my mind's black night

dissolve like sugar cubes

in a cup of coffee blowing 

smokey ribbons of steam.

Let me be quiet.

Let me be calm

and most of all,

let me love you.
