where the cullan trees lie

a yellowish shroud

is placed hurriedly

upon starched white sheets

revealing vicious contrasts

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

its Hessian appearance

an omen, a foretold event

like breathing deeply in a silence

amidst the history of a great disorder

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

violent ink stains

on folding parchment

embalm themselves

upon the thickness of a sorrow

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

placed deep within

shallow subterranean depths

of an enigmatic being

that is both engineering and entrenching

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

its perplexing sensations causing

a wonderful ingrained passion

to erupt with imponderable abstracts

where truth does not exceed exception

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

the shroud provides a false tranquillity

where there is no longer breath

imposes itself unobtrusively

with wonderful staccato caresses

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

it proclaims an innocence of salvation

yet gives gauge to spectacular routes

and an enormity of misconceptions

amid prestigious beatifications

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

oh sweet smelling blue abyss

oh deluded reality

dressed in a winding sheet

of meaningless words

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

wrapped in phrases of falsehood

amidst this purgatorial fog

a twilight world of mysterious ailments

maintains a world of external restraints

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

creates and emptiness, a vacancy

provides an intoxication of vision

a strangeness of sensation

a world transparent

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie

 

read the sentences of silence

breathe the perfume of never fading flowers

and see for the first time

the unfinished likeness of others

 

where the cullan trees lie

where the cullan trees lie
