Like it or Not

I never felt entrenched
Or as though I belonged
Servants of rapid shames
Intolerant eyes
Break!  The rodent sighs
We leave to paint a worry value
Between eye and eye
A frame that's crumbling
That could soon die
And there are worried men
Spitting rights
Spitting wrongs
Spit to split the pole the writing's on
From where it meets the ground
Is coiling song

Hexadic shots are ranging through the sky
Of dreamers' slumber
Streaking the azure                              I crime with love
Thus nowhere tags along
Dredging solitary impulse
Where lanterns turn
And seal the day

This is where the violins creep in
The leaves start to brown
It is where the tender
Nuggets of thought crack
And rejoin

I won't share my balls
'Cos they're dry now, besides
You've enough with rocking
Back and forth
Your lips as shadows

I fondly remember a time
When it was possible to
Wait       for one event to
Follow another
And glowering like a spider
Who wants to wrap his
Terror round your limbs
Embraces laughter, love and joy
And taking time to show you
Everything he knows
Apart from mysteries
He keeps them for, you know

                              HER

Now let's try another plain
Where beauty storm
Cuts your portrait
Into the plateau

Cough your sorrow into this cup

I'll stir it around

You have nothing less to lose
Than your will to dream

You are like a doll
Your porcelain eyes wreck trains
Daggers eat into your core
And light streaks out
Scattering every scented word

There are emotions that
Run right through us
And settle, then fester
But most spin from our skins
Like quick beams
And seem to us guides

You are like a doll
A shifty merchant
Conceals within a hidden drawer
Beneath his till
Where for all his life
He's stored the faeces of wild dogs
And miniature trumpets
Through which he summons

You    like a doll
When they examine your brain
These hands will find relics of
The tribute man
Coiled about an upstanding member

You are like a doll
With saucer eyes
And a smile that
Fails to convey

You are like a doll
Thunderclap! MOON
