Boxing rent habit


Li-la-li in the clearing
evidence your day is nearing
make that mark upon your face
to hold your chin up, let the laces
on your boots describe a shadow
you are opening
to the world
like a flowering explosion
from the corner
dripping wet with guarded mouth
and slipping into gloves of leather
on your feet as light as feather
but you hit him hard
you hit him terribly
a lamp of mercy shines above
your gaze is locked into the love of
mercy killing
blood is spilling on the mat
you haven't wept too long
about selected memories
to know that this will be the day
you are opening
to the world
like a flowering explosion
from the corner
helping out that charity
florescent glowing smoke and mirrors
cameras flashing when
you hit him again
and every seat becomes a stand
you have them eating from you hand
you are a winner
winning for those children who
believe in miracles
a combination and a jab
were all you needed, all you had

(basic tracks recorded August 12, 2009)
