Sadness is a ray of darkness Blind photons darting in effervescent emotion Melting away the grip of pericardium Waterboarding tired heart Smiles are labour pains Laughter, a jaggered cut through grey matter of necrotic brains Thalamus, grave of relayed impulses Empty carotid, dead heart in danger The night is darker Your shadow, your stalker Call the Bishop Tell the imam to bring the Bible The Abbot and the crucifix, love and no jinx Wake mother, hold the door for father A son is coming, their last daughter Tell Mungo Galapagos is not Darwin Basquait was a raincloud A mean frown in the sky Tell Kelly journeys have two ends That tears are diggers Say these before sunrise.
