    Scrawled into notebooks from the familiar comforts of temporary homes and the passenger seats of mechanically unsound vehicles adrift on the highways and back roads of America, Perfect Sleeping Weather is fifteen years of thoughts, observations, facts, and fictions hammered into a collection of poetry that, according to one reader, "sounds like a sigh."

    In this, his first book, writer/drummer/comedian Larry Fulford reflects on the usual -- life, death, love and leaving -- while still managing to name-check Van Halen. Twice.

lyrics

a heart vacant as the bare white walls
decorated with only a van gogh replica.
she put on poses by rufus wainwright
and we sat in the dim light
i knew it was wrong
but i drank anyway
and she got high.

the floating flower candles in the bowl
started sparking.
unusual for candles.
they were eating themselves to the bottom.
i guess it felt better than drowning.

and rufus crooned to the white walls
and weed.

without eating or sleeping or fucking,
i said “goodnight”
and she walked me to my truck.

our bodies are small cemeteries
forever burying memories.
