when do they think of, lying there, bequeath of me- aslumber gentle genocide to play games with the past. rested and arrested by the mammoth hypocrisy- gentle swaying zombies, crying wolf to the breeze. take me out there- never mind- I know the demons make a mock of thee. and truce! TRUCE! territory vain, vastly crazy, undo strangers, taking mine own legacy. and how, certainly you notice vainly truth mixing ****** I knew once how sweet the poison is.

there were times when I fell asleep beside a childless eye. and what they never could of known was the vision that had grown was a slumber from a mindless flight. so it took some getting away to be free. and the world would say, "I'm not on your side." So, weapons were built in me that caused a farce of serenity. Should the powers of known of the vision that had grown they'd know the power of a childless me.

there's a certain ice that runs through my veins where darkness is a wallow of remembrance. chastise holy consecration! God! Can't you see that I cannot speak your tongue for you took the child out of me? certainly when saints gather 'round the abbey, they hold a circle of thorns and cry for me, with understanding.

every time I think I might you spin me 'round in lucidity. though they tamper, what they tamper is pale blue windows of your simplicity. when you sang to me from the tempest, it was as imagined, and I caved, well they still grab hold of where I was, but I left for the better that I braved. sweetness I am still standing in the ash that burned that place, and weakened still, chaos gets its fill- relatively found revelation in your face.

I don't know why there is dusk to dawn, grass on my lawn, why a king beats a pawn, or why the wasp dies when it stings. but I know a redbird when it sings. I don't know what I have in my hand, why a soldier takes the command, why love should be banned, whether I'm outside or if I belong. but I can recall the redbird's song. I can't say what's nice or mean, to freeze in winter, to flourish in spring. I can't shout or cry or do these marvelous things, but I notice when the redbird spreads its wings.
