Jan 2011
my sweetheart's brass words
ricocheted in my hollow hall of a head,
the fresh priests and the ancient lords,
had fallen on their own swords,
I didn't feel like bleeding so I went to bed.

I woke to find all the people called me
slowly disintegrated in a colossal whirl,
the celestial dreams fed to an angry sea,
my weary hands were ripe, red; ready to be
in front of the painter's forgiving hurl.

the remnants struck the canvas with mad speed,
cutting, blending, burying the flickering light,
I split the transformation with a hopeful creed,
from now on I'm the freedom you need,
with a echoing clap and a weighty bellow- I broke the night.
