lyrics

their wonders were shrouded
by incandescence.
i can not look up
my third eye weeps
with uninspired grief
for numb dreams.
a broken psyche grounds me

but a time or two
when i was in the mood
i saw them dancing.
gently following their rhythm
my back to the asphalte.
i remember climbing trees
to reach them.

by now we are no longer human.
our mouths are dry.
my heart hallucinates
familiar imagery.
we are both broken though
our edges are jagged differently.

mornings are lonely when
not even tears will come
i went home screaming at the streets
The only release i can manage.

i will not say what is on my mind
if the act is objectionable to you

i will write you poetry
that you may never hear.
i will sing in silence and dance
where you can not see.
i will sit at the bar and read and drink
until i am as dark as the stars.
