Sleeping Hallelujah

It is a beautiful day
Praise be to God and Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Orphans are singing
In the street
Horns are wining
Out the bathroom window

Hallelujah, Praise!

Next to me sits
Willow wisp and Jasmine flower
The homeless writing Sudoku
Into the morning hours
My music wet
And storms rising up like the day

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Today Paris exists
HAHAHA Hail
The hazy sun on arch de triumph
A sour mellow out the Seine

Hail!

Today, the people are walking in
Hong Kong, in St. Petersburg
They’re limping in New Orleans
Olympia’s feeling dwarfish
And alone…

Hallelujah! Today
Noah exists
And Abraham

My Gretel and Hansel home
With the sapphire dining rooms
And wet elemental cat tails
Our mutual love for disaster
He means to say
(a red car echoes on and on into the night)

Lets sleep down our Joy road
And wash me in chamomile
In the backyard at the bakery
Slap my face till I fever down
Into ya kiss

Disease aching on new warriors

Don Quixote and Falstaff
Stumble out the tavern
Choking
On hidden jewelry

I lit a match beneath your nose
And you awoke
Sleeping literature
In the hands of a few

Our Komf
Shut the hell up!
I’m sleeping, and singing
Like a baby
Like a witch
Like an acre of snoring cats

Baby I’m tired in
This morning
My smiles bubbling out like mineral water

The bus took off for San Diego
I’m left behind in Dallas
In Sri Lanka
In Switzerland
I don’t know where the hell I am

The music is rolling of the page
And collecting in puddles on the floor

The stories are to numerous to tell
My shoulders are whacked
From accidentally reaching
To many unreachable stars
I’m stuck in the grave with
A thousand sleeping geniuses

My lip smelt like lemon
My mouth open to kiss
Hallelujah
