Danger


Danger


Look around corners,

Mama says it’s unsafe. 

Bring a gun to Walmart,

Just in case. 

Human beings Being hunted,

I Wonder why. 

Our growth is stunted,

And we can’t even cry.  


Because there’s danger (danger),

(Look over here).

You sense danger? (Danger!)

Look over there. 

Now you better be (better be)

Better Beware. 

That danger (danger) is 

everywhere. 

(Bee-uh, bee-uh, bee-uh-ware)


Now you gotta shoot at,

The guy who shoots you. 

Good cop, bad cop,

Who knows who?

Mr Stranger danger,

Part of the family. 

Run away, run away 

Beware the candy. 


Because there’s danger (danger),

(Look over here).

You sense danger? (Danger!)

Look over there. 

Now you better be (better be)

Better Beware. 

That danger (danger) is 

everywhere. 

(Bee-uh, bee-uh, bee-uh-ware)


Can’t eat, can’t sleep, 

Cuz You never know

Cops at the door,

(“Open up!”)

You’re dead on the floor. 

We gotta find a way out,

none of this is new. 

Everybody’s sick of 

Eating misery stew. 


Stop! What if we stop?

Trust a brother, trust your sister. 

Stop! What if we stop?

Help a brother, love your sister. 

Now Stop! What if we stop?

Trust a brother, trust your sister. 

Stop! What if we stop?

Help a brother, love your sister. 


Is there really danger? (No!)

(Look over here).

You sense danger? (No!)

Look over there. 

Let’s relax some,

Breathe in the air

That danger (danger)

Can’t be everywhere. 


What if we stop?

(Trust a brother, trust a sister.)

Stop! 

(What if we stop?)

Help a brother, love your sister. 


We can find a new way this time. 

Let’s not run out of days this time. 

We can be better to each other now. 

Be kind to one another now.

You Already Knew

  Remind me what you said Just before the sky broke.  New white sandals, Cuffed shorts Embroidered and hemmed  Just above the knee Every inch exploring Braids twisted in hope, Nothing is missing, But everything is gone.  Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. In the park, children playing Through the haze, sunbeams swaying Trees whisper their ancient lore And the world turns, evermore In each face, a story to find In each heart, a piece of time Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. Remind me what you said, just before the sky broke.

Fragile Lace

Storm churning Fever burning, Head aches, Wide awake.  Stop, fall, pound, twitch,  flush, blush, shudder.  Cold sweat chills,  the fire’s climbing (I’m unwinding.) Climbing higher still. (It’s the fire still.) Sun streams in,  Lifts dust like smoke. Gentle strokes, fragile lace, head to hip,  Sin erased, to leisure days.  Sun streams in,  Lifts dust like smoke. Gentle strokes, fragile lace, head to hip,  Sin erased.  Twigs snap, cans fall.  Nothing stays still. Softness comes to rest,  It’s not a test,  Baby, hush now.  (Hush. Hush.) There’s peace now.  (Only peace.) Stop, fall, pound, twitch,  flush, blush, shudder.  Cold sweat chills,  the fire’s climbing (I’m unwinding.) Climbing higher still. (It’s the fire still.) Winds die down.  Rest now. (No sound around) Baby, hush now.  (Just hush.) There’s peace now.  (Only peace.) (C) 2024 BMI.

In the Middle of My Memory of You

  An oriel lands softly on a branch just out of view.  You play a game of  Hide and seek (OR    …. is it Peek-a-boo?) I spy orange stripes, black feathers against sky blue. Pain catches us in the middle of things, in the middle of my memory of you.  Has it been that long since we talked, Gathered pine cones  in the park? Since we held eachother,  and morning  chased away the dark? I spy orange stripes, black feathers against sky blue. Pain catches us in the middle of things, in the middle of my memory of you.  I still sense you near (Oh, those memories of you) Turn around and you’re not there (yes, those memories of you) Had to be so hot and cold? (It’s those memories of you) My heart was bought and sold.   (oh those memories of you). An oriel lands softly on a branch just out of view.  You play a game of  Hide and seek OR    …. is it Peek-a-boo? Seem to think it’s win or lose, but it’s not up to you.  ...
