The Dance of the Dead (And Help Along the Way)
I jammed the space in my corona and poured the desert in my dove
We let our scars battle and breathe with their unprofessèd love
And I stumbled through the waltzing stars in your crayola eyes
As the light flickered and blind-we closed our waiting rings in line
My eyes carved words of fear deep into your winged back
And we'd hunt the empty space only to fill it with splintering cracks
How many times, love, were we fooled by dividing that same zero?
I asked and you broke to feed the void that would only growl and grow
And now I burn in the dust cloud's salty silhouette
I carry you in my hip flask and do the dance of the dead
Stream of consciousness
