in the valley of the lizards past the broken TV sets a flower grows on top of a hill that’s never trampled yet
but the tread of tearing tires and the smoke of leather fires and the buzz of information in the air and in the wires
the sleepy old distraction of the glowing screen alone under eyes of all the cameras you’re inclined to stay at home
and in a sweating shaking way it covers up my sight and surrounds all with confusion in a greasy kind of light
the reveille blows and everybody knows but they still tell you get up and start running where the lily-wild grows right under your nose but I’ll still tell you you better start looking.
the old face down decision, deciding to get up or laying down defeated, befriend the chopping block
Now I will say it straightly so the message it is clear we are like the silver birds in essence do appear
we are like the flightless birds in nature do abound who’ve given up their soaring for security of ground
but the world is very long security is short the secret world is falling away, there's nothing left behind
the golden horn the piebald one coming in moon coming in moon bullet and spoon
the burning grass after the glass is covered in cracks the dryest grass
