New Years' Eve Prayer by Jeff
Buckleyyou my love are allowed to forget about the christmas you
just spent stressed out in your parents house
you my love are allowed to
shed the weight of all the years before like bad disco clothes, save them for a
night of dancing, stoned with you lover
you my love are allowed to let
yourself drown every night in bottomless wild and naked symbolic
dreams
you my love in sleep can unlock your youth and your most
terrifying magic and dreaming is for the courageous
you my love are
allowed to grab my guitar and sing me idiot love songs if
you lost your
ability to speak, keep it down to two minutes
you my love are allowed to
rot and to die and to live again more alive and incandescent than
before
you my love are allowed to beat the shit out of your television,
choke it's thoughts and corrupt its mind kill kill kill kill the motherfucker
before the song of zombiefied pain and panic and malaise and its narrow right
winged vision and its cheap commercial gang rape becomes the white noise of the
world (turn about is fair play)
you my love are allowed to forgive and
love your television
you my love are allowed to speak in kisses to those
around you and those up in heaven
you my love are allowed to show your
babies how to dance full bodied, starry eyed, audacious, supernatural and
glorified
you my love are allowed to suck in every single
endeavor
you my love are allowed to be soaked like a lovers blanket in
the New York summertime with the wonder of your own special gift
you my
love are allowed to receive praise
you my love are allowed to have
time
you my love are allowed to understand
you my love are allowed
to love
woman disobey
when little men believe
you my
love are rebellionfeeling:
