Emma Booth – Soup why go out? let’s stay in we’ll make soup and take it all in life outside is wearing me down tonight we’ll hide do things simply for now let’s move slowly tonight feel the contrast put the pot on simmer make this moment last good things take time, and I’ve got nothing but it so let’s move slowly let’s move slowly come closer you’re mine you’re mine this sorta thing doesn’t happen all the time let down your guard but let me in easy we’ve waited so long banking on maybes let’s fall slowly this time make sure that it lasts I’ve been wearing my heart out by moving too fast good things take time and i’ve got nothing but it so let’s fall slowly let’s fall slowly

Ranch Hand’s Tale I’m too old for this I said As I threw back my head And swallowed There I n my throat it caught Just like the afterthoughts That followed Just another ranch hand’s tale Out of place in Arkansas A stupid dare I couldn’t fail Wondered what those cowboys thought Did it live inside my gut Glowing white and growing plump I wondered I mean just what the hell What kind of wicked spell Was I under When I agreed to eat a grub At the age thirty-three Did they think that I was dumb Full of insecurity

Liza Lynehan – Good Game She left her birthday cake out in the rain I thought it was strange and pretty One of the last standing candlelit flames Held on, played a good game Til a car drove by and straight through a puddle It made a big wave, led it to its grave This year on mine i will celebrate inside We like to stay dry, don’t like to get high

Mirtazapine Dreams Juniper Ginger Dawn again, the dam creaks apart And I fail to capture handfuls of water Gone again, the door left ajar Stories fill the shape of their container Fractured, the parts "Love you, I'll see you later" Dawn again, shipwrecked siren song Drowning out hand grinder meditation Chamomile gone cold, oatmeal an hour old Cringing as you throw up your medication Sound the alarm Told you I would write Mirtazapine Dreams May we both someday remember sleep

Birthday Cupcake Sorry that I ate that half of the cupcake You saved for tomorrow I made a mistake You go to bed so early how can you blame me It called from the kitchen I’m so sorry Amy I’m writing this note so you don’t worry We’ve had a break in when you wake up early I’m doing my best to try and be less weird I’ll buy you a pile for your birthday next year

Cranberry Bread One cup sugar, two cups flower Let it bake about an hour Powder, soda, sift together With the salt I don't know whether I can make it through Without your voice There on the phone I'm all alone Water hot and melted butter Your pans dead cold it makes me shutter Half cup orange juice for flavor Can't recall if I did savor You and every day I had your voice There on the phone Now I'm alone (Bridge) “If you want to say goodbye Up to her bedside you must fly” I held her hand while she did writhe And to the pain she closed her eyes I told her that I loved her dear And passing on she should not fear Then leaving her to die alone The only mother I and known I will regret it every day The choice I made to walk away I have to say what was I thinking? Leaving you while time was shrinking You just lying there Without your voice Not coming home All alone She worked until her back was breaking All the care the she was taking With walnuts chopped one cup cranberries Is it through that bread that carries You and all your love This is your voice It brings me home When I'm alone

"Food for Thought" by Creekaboo Is this all there is? Is there all there was? Preoccupied with our thighs, and who dies and who has the most fun? Is this all there is? Is this all there was? Obsessed with the quest Are we destined to find true love? We ate our vegetables We made our beds, we stayed in school We bought the latest jeans, thought we’re so cool We paid our taxes, voted, volunteered to save the world But here we are still broke and unfulfilled Is this all there is? Is there all there was? Preoccupied with our thighs, and who dies and who has the most fun? Is this all there is? Is this all there was? Obsessed with the quest Are we destined to find true love? No one has a truth monopoly Why we are here no one can agree Evolution, karma, creation or just an alien simulation? Is this all there is? Is there all there was? Preoccupied with our thighs, and who dies and who has the most fun? Is this all there is? Is this all there was? Obsessed with the quest Are we destined to find true love?

Brewed reality You can brew your own tea Or brew your own reality Ignore your loose tooth Or ignore your own truth The choices that butter your bread Are liable to soften your head Smarties and vitamin d A kind of therapy kosher salt and cinnamon tea are singing to me Well I'm either worried or fed I'm either sleeping or dead Well I never know the cost to pay Well I never know just what purpose to play Well you're here and gone one day You just never know You can be who you want be a slob or savant You can be who you be Or make an identity when its cathartic or plain I am primordial brain Well I never know the cost to pay Well I never know just what purpose to play Well you're here and gone one day You just never know

Lemons I left the lemons on your porch I don’t know what they’re for Or who you have inside tonight But I remember you made me dinner The coldest night last winter Salmon from Saint John with lemon All in all I’ve been pretty good Making changes I think I should Never needing much company I’m moving on reluctantly There was an apple on your windshield I don’t know how that feels Things are always heavy and messy I remember that cherry pie And the sweet ring I hid inside When you found it on your plate you made a face All in all I’ve been pretty good Making changes I think I should Never needing much company I’m moving on reluctantly I left the lemons on your porch Thought of knocking on the door Instead I turned and walked down the block
