The Prince (Poem)

For Will Oldham

I saw you in the gravel

Grinding dust

Your sweat a testimony

To a beauty made of rust

You lost yourself and lost me

As your demons danced

A broken melody.

With each word you meant

To turn me back into myself

You were torn from the wilderness

Wild eyed and wicked but tinder

With a heart of glass

And a voice of silver

You left me splintered 
and hallow like I had just sold my soul.

Heaven and a star (Song lyrics) 

For Mark Linkus (Lead singer of Sparklehorse .)

Down by the river

See the sparkle

See the shine

Lost and found

Lost forever

In the twinkle of an eye

Did you lose your mind?

Looking for a new sky

Did you hope to find a new high?

Up on your rocking horse

You were ambient

You were one of a kind

But now the rivers run it course

Your light is spent

Now you’ve left it all behind

Did you lose your mind

Looking for a new sky

Did you hope to find a new high?

You said you got so sad my friend

Did the sadness get you in the end?

Leave you helpless

Leave you hopeless

When you broke your heart

You broke mine too

You broke mine too

Now there’s a heaven 

And a star for you
