Purple shimmer sparkle, leading us astray Come closer to the light, I see tender virgin flesh Complete, unsoiled; invite a damnation waltz to the ceremony
You are not as you seem Rust and backward water Alleviate the night says the painter to the etherial muse Said female offers the chalice Viscious, incestous, crimson copulation back on earth The table is set for dining Wine and the elderly postman's stolen crystal Her minions beat the man for his wine His name is Victor They smashed his face....broken teeth Victor knew the muse 1972-1975 Three years in the secret place In consumate, contemplative silence, she could feel his touch Under the shadow of St. Mary's home for wayward girls Occasionally the painter reflected Past-life postmortem
Come on inspiration Taunt me not Thinking about a photo I don't have Disaster waved away by the beautiful split heart Looking, laughing, talking, feeling, being, touching Does she love me? Playing the game with my ghost The best game can often be the most serious Looking for the right phrase Laughing when I find it
Enter the red chapel of the celebrities' bossom Empty the carton of milk Spilt on the curb;dirty and muddy madness Sad, sentimental regurgitation Religion Sunglasses they wear like blinders in the box The woman in the temple;screaming, climactic, cosmetic Grinning Fame greets us Mainline, urban, media mania Distress The cause of loss of sleep Meditative silence Then even more More or less
Puppets at the line We all swim through the burn Politicians sell us hope, and medicine men give us dreams Some of us out here are frightened by growing Comatose inside the ivory swamp, I met my ghost in there A frail sadist, she plays me as the corpse Come in and let her feel you with a foamy hand All martyrs' men forget women Take a walk across warm angel skin Come on, leave the dead frozen nest Steal sleep from within her breast Words are lies, and birds are here Watch forgiveness fly, when you step outside the eye I saw something sweet The genteman can come and eat Fugitive feast Far away from the land of viscious teeth
Not what its cracked up to be That's what they all say I always look at the sky for answers Blue manifesto Calling angels to their stations I am zealous in envy and shy to all people Though I talk not like a hermit, but rather like a traveller I have been nowhere There is no moment Is there a limit? Living to see if there is Cal me crazy; I talk nonsense Love is only a nursery rhyme on a child's lips In the dark is where I am Always never forever Pornography Religion and philosophy Conjure me some chemistry Destroy history Put me back in my box Please
A long finger; sweat and arthritis Some time to kill Hating that Figure I'll wear some black tommorrow Maybe she'll be there then Abandon synthetic bliss I don't even like this peasure I give myself Indulgence and sin Do I believe in a connection between the two? Such a strange texture I think I am my own worst enemy Sad, guilty, ugly I walk through plastic and glass Only to meet the mahogony me Wood and piano strings that dangle like evolving hair This is the dark silhuette That mocks my convicted hand
At this point in life, I feel it a fitting irony for me to twist off bottle caps
