Ire came as puzzled tears,
Unlocked the door to unlawful fears,
Surprised you into knowing you weren't
Anything else but letters burnt.
Awake like some distant revival,
You took a few steps to the end of the tunnel.
Blistered and quiet you will not,
Not once more, this mystery sought.
Little girl dancing to shrills,
Plays alone while the other kills,
So occupy these guilty hands
Hold your breath 'till your brain mends.
Let go, I say to the shield,
So strong it might never yield.
A shy voice from under the gravel
Asks again: why does love dismantle?

The summit's drowned in this languid run-down fog,
And we're walking and walking with our eyes drawn to this never ever seen crown,
But we won't be kings.
The vague bodies trudge along your side and you trip you're tripping stop tripping
But these obstacles are like body-mines and we set each other off like bitter-red flares,
Morse codes beyond our ken, though some just thought they were fireworks.
And we sort ourselves into senseless stocks
Since someone someday for some reason said something in cross-shaped spiels.

Your hands, your dress, such a pretty little mess,
And the way that I stumbled over your neck.

Gaea

Devil-may-care legs bathed in your empty glass
As single malt marked your avid wavering ways.
Then you stormed on us with livid days
Of ghost-like storks and stubborn preys.
We crawled around merciless in your blackened dunes,
Searching for mercantile solutions to these ruins.
Anger built up in your half-sunk ship,
A couple of aborted half-hearted revolutions.
And while we stood there, struck by our sick absurdity,
You struck yourself and killed us all.

Oh, here we are,
Funny shapes
With a social disadvantage;
Disdaining,
Discording,
Disbursing,
Dysfunctionning,
Distrusting,
Distancing,
Disbelieving,
Disfiguring,
Disintegrating,
Disappearing.
I thought we were one,
But you were one,
And I was the other,
And they were the rest.

I thought you'd better know
How building ladders from everyone and everything you find
Won't get you higher,
Because as you'll eat yourself filthy rich
The weight of your arrogance will bring us down.
Oh no, now don't you go thinking you'll be spared.
And you all yelled in some hollow din
As divine digits overpowered your self-sold soul.
But kings, they always died alone,
Pissing themselves once and for all.
So save yourself,
Don't sell yourself again,
Or your desolate heart will fail.
And then you realized you had a sword around your neck
You aimed around at everyone you met.
Your cars were tanks to crush us all
And the fancier the angrier.
Friends were frames to adorn your walls
And the more the merrier,
Or so we went for.
But as you wrecked the Hesperus*
The ship you claimed to helm,
As our tethered figures dangled from its mast
And you blurted out some harrowing defense
About how you thought it was for the best,
Oh, you knew, you knew we'd pity you,
You and your genocidal profitability
You and your self-proclaimed superiority.

And so we lifted our heads high
And drank to say goodbye to this once known sky.
And no one ever came down to save our ordinary selves,
But we didn't mind. "It's ok" we said,
With voices as bent as the future ahead.
Just don't lose me too fast.
