9 peripherals of the interior landscapes series. 
Lyric representations of loss in archetypal form.
Barry Boudreau
flower
the power  in the hands of the broken
shards of unneed
burns wild as a a grassfire
sparked by gasoline
cost is fake forgiveness
and loss becomes a covered over
excuse of a courier shot
how do you heal?
what becomes the remedy
hidden behind lies?
I swore I saw a  sun
flower shining against the sky
maybe my imagination
but I've got to question why

burnt down the fields of memory you
can call me brother
uncover soul from the soil
a friend to pull you over
the silence we are bridging
could pull solace from these roots
regardless of the reckoning
the healing unheard
relieved of lies
I swore I saw a sun
flower
climbing the watchtower
the petals held a solitary secret
weathered and unamed

gone
Understand
sometimes there is a different meaning
And the corruption of your sleep
the warmer bedside banter recedes
falls upside upon your grace
A whistle in the darkness
but you are so tired of waking

so where are the horses
and wherefore the apology
Bent down on one knee to receive
annointed blade upon my shoulder
we stare like Brando
unsure by the window what solace
we keep

but we know deep inside
our time turns upon a lost memory
little bird  did you find your way home?
with your twig of peace
as you covered the ocean
landing upon the funeral pyre
your star your spark to flint a fire
gone
long gone

your star
your spark
to flint
a fire
gone
long gone

seed
o.k. your seed has grown into loss
far from the lost hope of an impressionistic
call girl of duty by the way
you can't remember
the unforgotten words that you
meant to say

its time to trip the light and call on
jesus to call off the fight
ain't we enough round hurting
this campfire under starlight

allright this seed has crumbled into dust
your formulation of the indices and cost
third world begging at your back door
asking what alms are we looking for
don't look away
the sight of one open that would clear this  empty space
don't look away
from the silent march into the crossmark upon his face

hunter its time to trip the wire
calling Mary over satellite
ain't we enough round hurting
this boardwalk under starshine
this campfire under starlight
this unrecovered
seed

blue umbrellas
get back to the things you have
held holy in your life
go back and remember how a piece
of soul became a nite lite
when the trails cold and the scent has become old
we become a simple miner
for the gold
a simple miner

go back to the memory
the place and time that
causes you the pain
get back to the simple fact
that everyones out in the rain

the blue umbrellas
cover over under and stand
for almost anything

get back to economy the small market stall
that is the heart of dying children
elite kicking skulls upon
the fair playing field
hopin the bones will decay
and turn to oil
before they run out
they the simple miners

attack the restlessness
thats buried in your brain
get back to the simple fact
that everyones out in the rain

the blue umbrellas
cover over under and stand
for almost anything

crane
I could not call you
at the bridge
I could not take your
hands away
I could not tell you as
the sonnets fell
how the words just slipped away

I cannot speak about
Whitman
And how the dream has turned
to dust
>From the bleached out bunker
of a white building
All the dreams have turned to rust

You could not stay long enough
To break these empty rules
were you covert in your silences?
as you buried gold from fools

the swan dive to the end
a bitter test of faith
I could not call you
At the bridge
I could not take
Your hands away

maybe be (gone fishing)
maybe be the wishing well
gone drinking
pissed off from the pennies
forever sinking
all those dreams falling
over the edge
maybe be the sun outside
caught stealing
cheating from the dusk
a little twilight dreaming
so longer be the day
maybe be the time to call on progress
invisible
in hi tech shoes and full dress
still waiting for the day
maybe be inside this grand fiasco
we only had Piccasso
and an actor writing plays
maybe be the time to slow the future
broken glass in a country sewer
fires lasting longer than
a mystery
fresh from the t.v.
maybe be the heart walks out in wonder
at the things we've torn asunder
still waiting for a memory
forget to be a memory
maybe be a little forgery
how can we listen to the silence
our brain already full of
yesterdays news in garbabe cans
serviettes from fast food stands
every image already loaded
but the ones we need to see
maybe be maybe be
maybe be inside this grand fiasco
we only had Piccasso
and an actor writing plays
how do you barter with the old man
without a hunger for the story
look at the signs
hear the sirens sigh
the lost are underground
and gone fishing

weedbed
all you see occurs far behind
your eyes
all you feel is buried deep
inside your mind
all those little sticks and stones
grow
to flint a spark a fire
the horse is led to loss to
feed upon desire

as open ended as the leaves
that fall upon my eyes
my bent down broken tree
still pushes towards sky

memory is nothing if I
cannot name my home
tradgedy is just a game to me
if were laughing all alone

the lost are overground and receiving
the lost attenae of our roots retrieving
every silence of this earth
completely remembers your name
you can call me
deep in the weeds
deep in discovery/philosophy/returning inwards home
deep in anger spent/lost within the halo/all found borrowed
and true
once within this varience
this weedbed

one
every word imperfect
as an open stare
in a world of wonders
the cemetary crosses shadows
only follow the sun
there you were
photographing no one

and the angel rained down
upon that empty shore
the driftwood returning
became a simple door
and who are you to question
what you're living for

hey there
you were in this world
all alone
and then there was no
one

give thanks to the excuses
that have kept your
soul alive
the loss of language
the open fields of alibis
just give me some truth
you yell behind your
clever disguise

and the angel rained down
upon that empty shore
the driftwood returning
became a simple door
and who are you to question
what you're living for

hey there
you were in this world
all alone
and then there was no
one

crucify (son)
when you show up at my door
trying to paralyse / confuse me
all I see is sadness open
lesions open lessons lost
you come to crucify me

in this stead I hold a blanket
of surrender
covered over memory you
cannot push your way into
this cost of necessity
you hold in front of me
a person I would belive in
the silences are lost between us
the cost is that you breathe in

slow out this name                                       

my name my future
my son my undiscovered
country you are hidden in
without a word without a sound
stands so tall and proud I am
that he reminds me
so true the meaning in his eyes
and you came to crucify me

I cannot heed the call for longer
than a moment
all the words are empty hangers
I believed that I would say
have become useless lesions
legions of hurt
that simply burnt away
and you come to crucify me
slow out my name
this church this son
seen for a moment of daybreak
you come to crucify me
