It Takes a Small Hand Much

Could it be that if I kiss the earth, you can feel it?

Though, I know those feet would never touch the ground

You’re hurt to ask if I can reach more than skin

And I admit,

Only what touches these hands can fill them

If I could claim flesh while it’s worn

I’d steal your arms, legs and horse

Then would amputate the voice

If I could

What shape would you be when you fall back to earth?

With a stake through your hands

And your waist by your nose

Will you still help me to applaud?

1. on the hoof
2. I need to shake his hand
3. A shallow spoon
4. To You
5. twine
6. It Takes a Small Hand Much
7. a last gasp to hurry me forward
8. Headin’ out West

9. Knowing love, what’s its feel?
10. Get out!
11. Chipped and Cheap
12. When I die, I’ll miss the wind
13. Oranges
14. Hangman
15. A Blue Kind of Acid
16. Home
