Summer of scales Red dresses Unpeeled oranges And handwritten TV guides The brink of sin American dream Whose post-war dream is it? All the Art Golds and Hart Silvers **** down in succession All the shortcuts to success All for heavier footsteps The sacrament of mess A body for a piece of soul An asset for a process cold Goddess is lost, little girl Find her in the rippled snow Approval looks off-red A mailbox of empty hope Grinding teeth and grapefruit Strung-out taxis, rising moat Bed is genesis of wounds Hot and cold, a foursome’s tomb An all doesn’t end well Mother fell off the pier Father has a golden arm The only shared position is fatal The only shared position is fetal Falling off the plateau To make tomorrow feel alright To love the sun To see the stars in plight Truth with legs together Death with legs apart The tree is collapsing

Shades of Defenestration
Summer of scales Red dresses Unpeeled oranges And handwritten TV guides The brink of sin American dream Whose post-war dream is it? All the Art Golds and Hart Silvers **** down in succession All the shortcuts to success All for heavier footsteps The sacrament of mess A body for a piece of soul An asset for a process cold Goddess is lost, little girl Find her in the rippled snow Approval looks off-red A mailbox of empty hope Grinding teeth and grapefruit Strung-out taxis, rising moat Bed is genesis of wounds Hot and cold, a foursome’s tomb An all doesn’t end well Mother fell off the pier Father has a golden arm The only shared position is fatal The only shared position is fetal Falling off the plateau To make tomorrow feel alright To love the sun To see the stars in plight Truth with legs together Death with legs apart The tree is collapsing
Inspired by 'Requiem for a Dream'
