Love and happiness to us all, every one.
Bless you my brothers and sisters, and bless the spirits that have taken me to a new mind with which I seem to be able to correspond more regularly from this digital plateau, here in this too-bright place.
Wanted to share this brand new song I just wrote yesterday. I am currently involved with Tony Doling and Todd Greene – from the band Bulb – on a new project. We have formed a band called Drone, and we are recording a project currently known as Honeycom(b)a.
I have been collaborating with Todd, sending him odd bits of lyrics every morning – nearly.
Resuming this discipline has really focused the songwriting and yesterday this cool new one arrived. This piece is much more straight Joe Nolan, and will surely make the cut on my next collection (we’ll see).
All The Things I’ll Give To You
When the stars in the sky
Fold their arms and die
And the moon begins to cry
Its milky dew
I'll catch every tear
And I'll gather them right here
With all the things that I will give to you
When the bird finds its song
No longer belongs
Amidst the clatter-smashing noisy blue
I'll add every note
That melancholy martlet wrote
To all the things that I will give to you
All the things I'm leaving in the morning
All the things I'm giving you tonight
After all the times I left you without warning
I'll give you all these things and still not make it right
When the mountains lose the sun
On their failing falling run
To the bottom of the ocean's jealous hue
I'll praise every peak
In every word I speak
About all the things that I will give to you
When the breeze finds it bears
More than its fair share
Of the strain on every sail that's sailing through
I'll place every wind
From every shipwreck they've done in
In a tin, with all the things I'll give to you
All the things I'm leaving in the morning
All the things I'm giving you tonight
After all the times I left you without warning
I'll give you all these things and still not make it right
(Fin)

Love and happiness to us all, every one.
There’s something in the air! Creative juices flowing! My poem:These are the eyes that once took me home—eyes that have been emptied of their joy,cracked and spilt like soft-boiled eggswhen all the yellow life-goo runs down the sidedripping sticky to the woodwork of the table.How hard I have tried to scrub that spot clean!Are these not the eyes that onceflashed dark to me with piercing secrets?Eyes now blank like a junkie’s,eyes that can no longer meet mineeyes that have lost their darknessbut were not replaced by lightYour eyes are now the eyes of road-kill:bulging, vacant, dead raccoon eyesof someone who has not slept and will not sleep again.“There is no rest for the wicked,” Isaiah says, and you know.These are the eyes that could never ask for forgiveness,for behind them, the brain is cloudyand there is a chance it might storm.I could look into the eyes of anyone but you,For forgiving you is my white whale
Oh Joe, you are just another slacker from Michigan. Hope you are having a good time in Nash-Vegas. Hit me back sometime.
