27

Stadium of rock, stone in my boots

Rolling boulders with my amulet noise

This is my sixth limb, rather my extension

Watch me roar, shake this gorge

I ****** the peasants, the Pharisees and lords

They gave me the spotlight , I gave them my creed

A mutual yet flimsy roll of the dice

But I promise, at night, I put my halo back on

I promise, at night, I say my little prayers

And when I weep, I weep salty tears

And when I ride the snake

Amidst the purple haze

Like a flower in the sun,

I think about a girl

 

The journey, the chaos

The spiral, the fluid knot

A gamble with Saturn

But oh, to be the vessel

I should have sensed

A lottery changing hands

But not in recompense

Past the fiery sixes, swept up in seven's bliss

Rolling with the eight-balls , now clenched in nine's fist

But deep inside its dour palm

Lies a truth-

It won't be long

(The first cut is the deepest,

The last scar is Eden-bound)
