The well is dry
Tonight
Not much thought
Nowhere to go
But sleep
Or
Drink
The well is dry
Tonight and
I envision black crocodiles
With razors for
Teeth, chuckling underneath
Their putrid, blood stink breath
Their belly's tanning
In the sun like I wish I could
Pepper shakers for
Limbs caring for
The war sick wounded
Sounding like the whoosh
Of the first windy roar
From an atomic explosion
Naked and writhing and waiting
For death to crack his knuckles
The big sleep at last
Where no light can be seen
Taking comfort in the new, familiar darkness
At night, when there isn't much going on,
I see the water start to boil over
The food begin to rot in its bowls
Lakes churn from no wind or rain or boat
Only spinning to feel its means has an end
Here, the fish weep into their scaly fins
And night - when there isn't much going on -
With the bars all open and the churches all closed
And the streets bursting with de-salienation tools
Branded with love and hate and indecency;
Where matters pressed are things worth dying for
The well
Is dry
Tonight
And the trains and trams pass by
A ***** dies
A cop makes a young woman cry
Yes,
There is not much
Going on
Tonight
But there are still things happening
I try to hear them
I get lucky every now and again
When there isn't much going on,
The dust of the dirt
Fills my nostrils, making it
Hard to breathe and I see
Snakes have bitten my feet,
Though they do not swell and
Laughter of one who once loved me,
Has turned to the ringing in my ears
Clouds form the forward march
And the fortress has buckled down
This place does not need to make sense
Here, I can be alone with no one but
Who I was before and who I wish to be
The well is dry tonight
But, I continue seeking
I keep on
Digging
Picking
Brushing away the dust
And wiping away the blood
The well is dry tonight
And I try to keep on
Drinking
Thinking
Blinking
Anyways
