kiran leonard - visions of worthless shortcomings lyrics

Loading...

i found that i could not walk
one night in the south my legs became sleepy
while reading a poem
a million stones settled
and bound me

there was a sandcastle in my chest
my desk reached in and time took to wheezing
an elaborate arc
of floodlights and bark in
vigil surround me

i was a corpse in a window display
but then through the gl-ss relief came oozing
i forget decisions
confronted with visions
of worthless shortcomings

we met in a shadowed hour
where foliage and moths embroidered the garden
anecdotal retention
the weight of a question
are hidden by laughing

like a v-ssal to my brain
i begged you to stop me from dancing
but the smile of a room
and a gl-ss like a tomb
go figure, distort me

you know i never can understand
why songs about this are songs about movement
the continuity’s absent
there’s only fistfuls of instance
and visions abounding

sometimes in the wings of a giant night
the gloom of half-light and rising vapor
carries me to a grave
where the tight-knit and brave
converge and astound me

but the glimpse of a second sh-r-line
sets rain on the dunes obstructing a valve
and at the base of my toes
the strength of that coast
dismantles the quarry

i never know when the threshold falls
eyes down and like a vole i structured my sentence
but at the meeting of hands
and the exchange of a glance
all trying was pointless

and on the brink of a whispered epithet
all shortcomings are worthless
