And the chaos inside Takes us all down Over the edge of no return
Like stars on a foreign day In the colours of the old We’d return in the fires Your raw maudlin stutter Programming our mantras
We’d settle down where the world wears thin Ghostwriting hopes from the crust of God’s grave And harken the sun! Like a burning tear Mutilating the sky That keeps bleeding like rain Like rivers Like suppurating greed For touches of you and kisses from her But she’s gone She’s gone
Vanished in your lies Like bookmarks in fiction A devil recalled From the history play you call life Like a podcast of Parkinson memories Like stains on a carpet Like spit on my face Like anti-matter poetry
