Our lives are far from home.
You seek truth inside the tomes.
Our lives are leaking outward.
I'm stuck here with your anemia.
I pray to the altar of the blade God.

Pennies clatter, happy chant.
Change hangs heavy, metal *****.
Such a rich thrill.
Copper courage. Bronze boldness.
But what did you loose?
With your pants down your ankles and pennies strewn across the floor?

Deathbed ditties
'Shame on you all', etc
'Ooo she's coming',
let's light a candle,
And play a silly board game.

Heavy delta.
This is the real reality.
Crystal perception
through diamond eyes.
Feel the earth in your veins.
Arteries pump with sound
So clear
So pure.
Heaven trapped in dust.
Released through me.

Reservoir,
Abattoir,
Miracle of life.

Coming to.
Senses blurred and hurting,
Vision swirls to find colour in black.
Ears hear too much,
Can't make sense of it all.
Face is sticky and warm.
Fingers trace it's source
White-hot pain turns black vision grey.
Breath is hard to catch.
Grey to white to Blue
To sounds.
Surrounded by chatter and noise.
'don't move sir, the ambulance is on its way'

Insidious entity.
A vicarious ride.
Distance between stars,
Astrological blindness.
Yet so visible to all who see.
Tick tock, tick tock
Times up.
