Liquid Jest

by nicholas-foster

Liquid thoughts flow blue and black The stars shutter at a sight unseen Infinite jest has run dry again My teeth crackle down in every memorable dream. I'm clenching and speechless Blood trickles out I'm lost with out reason I'm left with out doubt That I'll parish alone Or rot in a tomb Rising never again Like a shadowless moon My brothers are angry My sisters are poor My parents are absent Birth happens no more. My senses are dull The factory's hell I'm building a casket Covered in braille. It reads "here lies the hopeless The emptiest man The sounds have been drowned My skin was left pale."
