I'm sick and I got no money
I'm tired and I got no body
Jus a guitar an eyes full of tears
Memories of things I've done
emptiness and faded loves
all the things that have passed me by through the years
can I hold on?
can I still hold on?
I feel I'm going down
absent of intellect the absentees
open their thoughts to thinking
the black motifs in satin white
skate across the concrete
bleeding out on the edge of power violence
the people in power violent
the violence in all acts of power
overtaken by the imagery of control
the people in all acts of violence
overtaken by the imagery of control
what's one life for an eye
what are generations of Scottish hatred
in the vision of the overlord
the people in all acts of violence
overtaken by the imagery of control
what's one life for an eye
what are generations of Scottish hatred
in the vision of the overlord
the people in all acts of violence
overtaken by the imagery of control
what's one life for an eye
what are generations of Scottish hatred
in the vision of the overlord
down back west Neath the Nixon line
the beer aint the best but the women so fine
the boys all sayin get me mine
as the medical establishment comes crashing
drown out the noise and stop asking
drown out the noise and hear the string section
two steps past the election the illusion
of agency comes calling
begging god for the choice to shut my ears
and cry
wolves come out of the forest with noise in their
eyes
twist the gears and twitch the body stiff
the stiffs in the trunk as we drive off the pier
and the waves come crashing
down
and if I ever I find somebody
and I get me a little more money
maybe I'll buy me a set of brand new strings
and I'll put em on this here guitar
and I'll tune em up nice and slick
and I'll sing some songs about happier things
can I hold on?
can I still hold on?
I feel I'm going down

High above a solitary cloud
the solitary sleeper in her bed of goose down
the empty eyed stare
at the ground
a network of images in white satin
sewn together by threads that she makes from
those little bits of skin that peel off of
people's nails
the tiny holes in each photograph are a small
price to pay to have them strung across the
corner where her wall meets the ceiling
servant of steel she sews herself into the wall
and never comes out.
power tripping
power gripping
the word she speaks is power
blind behind the curtains waiting
take your fill and stop explaining
the warm embracing the warm
what she wouldn't give to break out of her skin
the cgi peeling back inside the shell of a man is sold on a broken promise of freedom
puppeteers telling quiet stories to the dead
didn't mean to step on eggshells
didn't mean to steal your heads
will roll on hallowed ground
the dirt is flat
the earth is round
the imaginary space beneath my feet
is built on the bodies of gamblers
there will come a time in your life
where events in the world will rise up to meet you
as if they had been living on their own terms
all along
the sun and his contract with the sky
the son and his contract with the outline of the sun
Im so embarrassed that I still exist
Years later where the tower meets the sea
a family moves in and a young man gets the room
with the flowers all to himself
I feel the weight of her eyes on my skin
I feel the weight of her life in my hands

take part in taking me apart of local
government he sits part of the way down
the isle of man broken up into parts and
peaces divided amongst the divided
the united state of being part of something
empty mornings cast into the abyss
a black hole service at the body is a
temples smacked twice in quick succession
concussive force to tweak the mind back
inside it's shell the turtle's thoughts
turn to the 6 dozen or so eggs that might
survive the winters out here are so cold
you can freeze the wings off a Nat
Grounded over Christmas break
the child stuck inside watches as
everything passes them by
missing out on the mistakes
he's lucky enough to grow up without
the broken bones and the bullying
the icy death that waits
greater than less the feedback feeds the
frozen minds of the local delinquents
better than the last couple of nights
the paranoid anger falls backwards into
into the abyss I am nothing more than
nothing
the serpent surrounds
the servant sounds
the surreptitious surrealist
sleeping around the back of a grocery store

A rare treat from the heavens, silver hair and golden eyes,
framed in rosewood sculpture.
An open form flexed against her glass housing.
Cut against the grain she sings the low notes like birdsong,
an inkan chant to call the dead back to their feet.
Save us she whispers
Save us she screams
Dark demons and dreary eyed mince pies,
human flesh diced by constraining ties
The walled in wisdom that never dies
The walled in wisdom that never tries
Beg not god for release before you let go of
what you weren’t holding onto it right?
You, so certain of purpose of purview of principality,
define meaning
defy meeting
displace your replacement and reaccept an old reality
Depth of the playing field marked by more than four lines,
the fuzzy gray area embraced with all the love in my heart, am I a victim of art?
Intro to introspection,
a repressed reflection,
a divine intervention in the chests of dead pirates.
Their treasure swallowed up by the sea.
I look up to the lord with shallow tears in my eyes.
hoping for another shot at life
I whisper at the top of my lungs
anything but me

I come home from the store and take her into my arms, I nestle my face into the crook of her shoulder and take in a breath of her soft auburn hair. I look up from my paradise to find the camera there watching me. In his hands and in his head I am the instrument of our demise. The desert people hail him as a god, a prophetic piecemeal, a pile of prosthetics. A religious leader relegated to my service. An epic poem in his name the camera twitches and sparks. He tosses my wife to the side and grips me by the hair on the back of my head. He looks me in the eyes and says something along the lines of "I am the song The servant The serpent and you will bow before me"
in a house made of bodies made of bones made of skulls made of love for one another little gifts to make your wholes filled up by one another the flesh is fresh and pink a little glimpse of one another washing down the kitchen sink
The scent of blood on his skin. The grease in his hair. The drip of spit on his long slimy tongue, like a worm living inside the shell of a man. Heathen. Demon. Monster. Sinner. Vile beast of meat and anger. His head in my hands. I remove my own shell and place it where his had been. The desert people's will rejoice and the earth itself shall rise up to sing with me.
A rabbit is standing in a field, its ears perk up at the sound of a passing car. it darts across the grass searching for the safety of the denser forest. the camera pans underneath his stomach while he runs, on each of his paws is revealed to be the mark of an ouroboros, they hit the ground with a rhythm like the beating hearts of a hundred dead men. the camera pans up to look the rabbit in the face. With a snarl the rabbit whispers to the viewer "I am the son the sleeper the salamander and you best listen when I talk to you"
Seated on a park bench, I am settling in to my new life. My new body suits me quite nicely, the home in Bakersfield is well dressed and my wife is decorated with the finest of adornments. What was foreign and mysterious is slowly returning to the familiar. I put my arm around Darla and kiss her on the cheek. She looks at me and smiles with love in her eyes.

Emptied of words
there is nothing left to express
my heart goes out to those still living in the stratosphere
the everclear
the everpresent
the steel edge of time that stings the back of my throat when the swallows fly home for the winter
emptied of regret
from beneath the horizon all swallows eve to rise above their limitiations I wear a sleeve on my heart to turn back the cold steel
I sit on the steps with my head in my hands and plead with the lord to let me back inside
emptied of the robotic soul
life begins anew
do you remember dying?
