Artist

Chuck Potashner (2009, CFG)

I smile when I think about you
Booming laughter, that big dress with oversize boots
The way you’d hold me, as if I were a baby
That time you kissed me and your tongue went crazy
I thought I’d choke on it, you said it was your first real kiss
I asked about the fake ones, you didn’t say anything
Except I love you. Well I love you too
My friend you are an artist
You dive into darkness and come out triumphant though sometimes in tears
We had a picnic in the middle of some cement
Cars drove by fast, it was hard not to panic
You started reciting some sound poetry
It was really, really weird but comforting
We talked for hours, as we sometimes do
I’m not much of a talker when I’m not paired with you
Our phone bills last summer, Jesus Christ, what a bummer
My friend you are an artist
You dive into darkness and come out triumphant though sometimes in tears
Now your moving back to Itally
I’m going to miss you like I do already
But I’ve known you longer than anyone
And our paths will surely cross again

Distant Stars

Chuck Potashner (2009, CFG)

The center of the world has moved from me to her
With each tick of the clock I think I may fall off
But It feels better
So I follow her around, catch her teeth before they hit the ground
Flip a lightswitch now and again, nothing happens
So we’re dreaming in the dark, Inventing distant stars
A telescope could destroy us both, But for now we are who we are
Nothing need be magnified, Everything’s larger than I
my ships inside a bottle babe But the ocean’s made of wine
My hands are attached to strings, Can’t hold on to anything
Someday she will cut me free, But for now I’m hanging
Guessed my letters right, still my noose is fastened tight
Drawn of ink, I hear her sing and I know I’ve done right
Nothing need be magnified, Everything’s larger than I
my ships inside a bottle babe But the ocean’s made of wine
