A man with nothing to wear but belief Crawls, his belly toward hell, over A street with cobblestone teeth. Roadside vendors sell their vices and prayers with stoney answers. Above them the giant clock tower eye’s hands are tied with tears From the ashen faced sky. Two lovers are the masons of a desire Killing [...]

They’ll still play, because their human; even though life is away They’ll still play With Bones as their drumstyx, Fingernail picks for fat licks, Because their human. They’ll still play the blues Even with nothing left to loose they’ll still play On drums made of skin, Guitar’s with sinews streched thin, Because they are human. They’ll [...]

Somewhere, is some forgotten attic Seven fanatic wise men drink and talk while they think about quantum love, and the leaping of the heart super strings between energy levels. 70 frantic fingers, bound with seven rings Fondle rapidly aging pages as dry as their skin. Silently the sages calculate the weight of loneliness, or the [...]
