Sky Broke Open
Come here you bright beautiful thing
earth is hanging from a string
pinned up from a sky of why
everything that’s kissed must die
come here and hang your lily head
the story you once knew is dead
I could kiss your blister better
you want to fly but you won’t let her
and, the sky broke open
did someone set a trap for you
and tell me am I breaking through?
stand up straight and kiss the sun
notice everything is one
come here you sweet endangered thing
it seems the moments taken wing
the comfort that you crave is me
because I swallow death I’m fee
The sky broke open
So I wanted to be there
The Madness
Darkness, space and empty unbecome again, unbecome again
Distance and the moments, only all there is, all there is…
Till all is lost
Awaiting the hammer of time
Till all is lost
And so I wait for the madness to come, again.
Distance, sweet resistance ~ sweet cacophony, bright catastrophe
Lifetimes, brief and bright times, summer’d just begun, we had just begun
Time slipped away
time for the seasons to mourn
take them away
and I can wait for the madness to come, again.
Briefly, only briefly did we taste the times… all along the lines
Broken, shabby token, spoken on the wind… on the wind
Torn by the storm
Wait for the rain to become
Meaningless days
And so I’ll wait for the madness to come, again.
On an ending earth…
On an ending earth they stood
Resplendent in human brotherhood
illusioned till the end was come
the virus eats until it’s numb
it also thinks itself above
designed by god along with love
to use and tear and not despair
they’re why everything is there
On an ending earth they played
the children’s vicious masquerade
an earth god made for them to use
seemed impossible to lose
the virus eats away the host
the virus always matters most
the virus celebrates its births
more god kids on an ending earth
