Gaze

lyrics

gaze
i’m losing my facility
hopefully
some latent island or geography
out from me, given the ghost feeling

a place i could wander
from time to time
i think of you relinquishing
i may have some odd pauses
where that feeling lives so that you are not touched by it

space and or amends with her. in her many waverings
my worry i was not
long time sitting by the river
not wanting to move, leave the
like forested realms the banks along blue as sky water
i don't not appreciate this loss
probably a river runs
-
You can at any time, release yourself from my gaze,
with the blinds half-open so I could gaze into the street outside through the branches of the tree.
, I liked the fight, the fight to pull away from, the fight against my urge to pull away from, to still bestow- what was it?- A gaze... I did not like to touch. But also nothing, a coldness, a thought, a goodbye, an "oh well"- she kissed me goodbye in the morning while I was half asleep, knowing I would not return, not in this way.
I worry- as I later tell you- that a long gaze will faze you
I was not reluctant to meet your steady gaze which held
shunted back and forth between schemas as easily as a passenger gazing upon the world through plexiglass, happy to be one more anonymous soul
The thing kept falling apart and before I realized it I was just standing there gazing down yet another stairway. At the end there was an unimatable blue light as if from a television that had been left on and suddenly, I was convinced that there was a ghost in that downstairs room- this is before I knew that the stair did not lead to a basement that she had never been to, but to a room I had in fact, recently left through another exit. I knew then that there was a ghost in that basement room and that the ghost was watching television as sort of a late night treat and it was best not to disturb him.
my gaze from the dim thunder of the surf
nightbirds circle us as we turn the bend in the road and the moon gazes upon
There was sort of a dead silence as we sat on the porch between abandoned beer cans from the music show that had happened hours before. I gazed across at the laundromat, its sign lit, luminous, glowing in the distance from the lot across the road. It probably was not just that three am silence- though it was occurring.
You avoid one another's gaze.
She would gaze over one side of the bed with her head on her hands so as to look at me. “Why are your arms up”, she said, "as if you are upset?”
My gaze was met
All my life I look into others’ eyes and I see dark windows, I see a dumb reflection and nothing more. But this time, there was a presence, there was someone real on the other side. And in that gaze, how he grappled with me, how he grappled at my heart and fought at my mind and spoke little or nothing at all, really, probably nothing, but he told me something in an instant, something without words
gaze upon the silent film of human beings in their depthless trance of circumstance
My symbols are benevolent and hard. I could send you on your way full of apology. You should see anyone that you can gift with that deep gaze. I know that we meet before the beginning of all things again on this very slip of shore
