The selection here contains both poems and lyrics.
Autumn born and autumn led
Autumn named, maybe autumn wed
For who knows what the wind will blow around your knees
Or what will fall
...
What to buy a woman who’s grown up with quality,
who sums its parts up, knows the names it calls us with?
What would suit a woman who wears the right decision,
...
With a wind tan of what gets to him, he
turns his back on what is beckoning,
knowing it's bringing, red-lettered,
a date with it - one he may never learn.
...
Like gnats, strange lights bother
the marsh. Crickets chirp, bats
skim across the ale-dark night
and a breeze rustles the leaves
...
