The New Rule (feat. Mitsch Kohn)

It's the old rule that drunks have to argue

and get into fights.

The lover is just as bad. he falls into a hole.

But down in that hole he finds something shining,

worth more than any amount of money or power.

Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street.

I took it as a sign to start singing,

falling up into the bowl of sky.

The bowl breaks. Everywhere is falling everywhere.

Nothing else to do.

Here's the new rule: break the wineglass,

and fall toward the glassblower's breath.

This that is tormented and very tired,

Tortured by restraints like a madman

This heart.

And still you keep breaking the shell

To get a taste of its kernel.
