Dogs howling eulogies, desperate
     To late-night-early-morning lovers shot dead dead dead in the streets
      Sunset to sunrise hit the pavement running over with blood
I am wrapping paper holocaust, strung out,
     Livid in lost motion
      Gypsy caravan euthanasia breaking news bulletin
Losing teeth losing sleep
     All shades of bitter gray
      Color chalk-outline landscapes
        But the sky held fast heretical blue
Streaked & stabbed & sodomized
Satellites, searching searching seaching
    It's a wash, a cheap trick of the light
    Sidelong glance cast nervously over the shoulder
       Immigrant dream of bygone peace
Boulder pushed eternally up a hill
    Sisyphus for the low-life lowest common denominator
While ****** shook shook shook her head
    She only likes the men with bombs
South of the border north of Hell
   Spanish gold dust shot up winding black black black roads to frantic nervous system
  El rey esta vacia, scrawled slipshod black ink under the overpass
  You can't see it without some kind of death wish
