An Auspicious Night

What an Auspicious night my friends,

What a day in fact,

What a life

What a reflecting Knife,

What with it’s ticker-tack bindings taught with rife,

Yes with the moon’s self served cursed light

That’s right down into my very soul

The pull of which yearns evermore for yet

Another empty ***** and tet-tet

It gets what it rents, it bleeds what it brecks,

It feeds what it mets, is leads where it regrets

Oh yes my friends

Oh yes

What an auspicious night

What a day in fact

What a death

 

 

And you wake up alone

In the village you built years ago

Not as you as you are

But you as as you were

Or some oft changed memory of, like soft spun tar

Molded shaped and bent,

Broken in fact by the ravages and scars,

Of nothing, of no one, of nobody,

Of everything, of everyone, of ever body,

All humans, all animals, all life

No people, no beasts, no strife

The cold carcass of the molten sun

The future the past of another man’s son,

What does it mean, what does it mean,

You turn your head in the village

But every stone is me

 

 

The night ends to the rise

Of not a start but a doom

 

Luck is gone Love was a chemistry

Engineered and now revereried

Lipple lap the gods they laugh

As the dice has been cast low and strung

Aye further now you’ve fallen but higher you have come

You split yourself in pieces unbeknownst to anyone

Even your own mind unwitting to the deception

As the chortles bortle onwards ad nauseum

This prophecy disintegrating as it goes on

What is left what is left

You sat there alone for years stuck

This is just the price to pay

For the dam of time to unbrook

What an auspicious night my friends

In fact

What a day

In fact
