"Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else." Then let's be quiet together. - Leonard Cohen

Refine your longing here, in the small silver music of her preparations, under the low-built shelter of repentance.

* It's coming to America first The cradle of the best and of the worst It's here they got the range And the machinery for change And it's here they got the spiritual thirst It's here the family's broken And it's here the lonely say That the heart has got to open In a fundamental way Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In my secret life.
