Dead by now Beat no more Vacant vessels Coagulation Pallid wax figurines Sharpened cheek Outspread parted lips Ultraviolet, green No steam on windows Nor on mirrors Straight lined limbs Electricity's velocity Sparks have ceased Relinquishing Now For ever, as it may last Paces staggering in the stillness Tip toe, tip toe, on the extremity Of last words Of last sounds Behind the lights hid also a light Bright from outer space Veiled by artificial power Waved a thousand dragonflies Crickets and mosquitoes ******* the last bulb Out of ephemeral euphonies The jingles Were nothing more than Bzzzz and crit crit crit Tear drops fused with dew Chances to say None left Buckets of drooping consonants And syllables No more reaping Quick sand slipping Down under The bed of nightmares Freshly baked sheets Right out of the oven Armpits over heat A shot And shattered glasses Crooked and broken eyelids Fingers in an earthquake Face to face With the mirror The ashes Twist and twirl Roaring agonizing Against the flames

Out of the baby blue firmament
Dead by now Beat no more Vacant vessels Coagulation Pallid wax figurines Sharpened cheek Outspread parted lips Ultraviolet, green No steam on windows Nor on mirrors Straight lined limbs Electricity's velocity Sparks have ceased Relinquishing Now For ever, as it may last Paces staggering in the stillness Tip toe, tip toe, on the extremity Of last words Of last sounds Behind the lights hid also a light Bright from outer space Veiled by artificial power Waved a thousand dragonflies Crickets and mosquitoes ******* the last bulb Out of ephemeral euphonies The jingles Were nothing more than Bzzzz and crit crit crit Tear drops fused with dew Chances to say None left Buckets of drooping consonants And syllables No more reaping Quick sand slipping Down under The bed of nightmares Freshly baked sheets Right out of the oven Armpits over heat A shot And shattered glasses Crooked and broken eyelids Fingers in an earthquake Face to face With the mirror The ashes Twist and twirl Roaring agonizing Against the flames
