Boom Ankle Groove

Astro space dust peaking over the bows

Jesters prance across your belly causeing blindness

And practical giants pick your clothes for tonight.

Although we have danced together

Yesterdays lunch backs up our crusades.

The spiked pants have formed a crust

Around the water bed

Filled with the tears of your family.

Your halos burn in the fire of the ages

Scorching the carpet.

Liquor and wine fill the packs

A toast to life is a thirst quenching mission

Taking away our lust and bleaches our skin

Forgotten births spread across the floor

Covered in last nights brew.

The night bodies jangle around under the gauze

Bells toll in the distance but the breath drows it out.

Under the bridge, behind the stores,

In the Inns, out inside.

The physics are catestrophic in their own way.

Crys begin once the breathing stops and the men leave.

Today we are creatures but how did we get this way

Who was the one who came up with the idea?

Don't question yourself

The leopards can't chase you forever

Give yourself to the hunters

They starve another night.
