Row Her Away 

Found my apartment completely unfurnished
Wondering how that might have happened in the dark
Made my bed, I wanted to go to sleep early
Someone came over, now things have really changed

I want to row her away
From the barbary eyes
I want to row her away
Turn her into white light

Pouring over the pictures of you
From the time I let you wear my clothes
No one could ever discover the pattern
That sat on the front of your repose

Make me, make me, don't make me go silent
Barrels of paint lined up behind the new recruits
Cigarettes, blindfolds growing in the garden
My sweat is on the floorboard of another night
 

Witch 

Take your dust outside
We're trying to sleep
Our daughter Fran
Was named a witch
And died for that

"Thou shalt not suffer
A witch to live"
They used to say
So Fran eloped
Into the lake
And splashed a bit
Our Fran, she lived like you

The sky is beautiful
Inside my eyes
it won't remind
My cloudy skies
To rain on Fran
A burning witch

The folks sit in their homes
With shows
But I won't relent, Fran,
I mean to take your tent
And make a home
For us to see through

Take your dust outside
We're trying to sleep
Our daughter Fran
Was named a witch
And died for that

"Thou shalt not suffer
A witch to live"
They used to say
So Fran exploded
Into the lake
And splashed a bit
Fran lived a life like you
Fran leapt a life like you
Our Fran she lived like you

Joe Mahoney - yoricknixon

     I am a software exec. and I do secret internet foo. I live near Boston, Massachusetts and spend a lot of time in San Francisco.
     I began writing poetry a few years ago in a brave but ultimately feckless attempt to stave off a canonical entrapment breakdown.
     I sometimes write with a pseudonym: Yorick_Nixon. I also write music and play musical instruments. I was a member of Boston noise band Inner Beauty and San Francisco improv combo Senator Buchanon. With the members of Inner Beauty I co-authored a pre-web internet published dystopic novel entitled "Skunk Angst".
     Any spare time I have I read Shakespeare or listen to Bach. Bach seems to be the one thing all nerds agree on. I've lost touch with my culture. Though my friend Janet has turned me onto Cat Power. My only firmly held cultural belief is that Chan Marshall of Cat Power is kind of a babe.
