Ceramic hands and porcelain hearts
I hear a distant sparrow
almost a dream
her song bleeds through my ears
A passing dream where sparrows die
my pillow underneath her arms
and her eyes always buying my watercolors
drifting through her lips
all I ever wanted
one last song to end my agony
and your hands folding my skin into a butterfly
almost a dream
her song bleeds through my ears
A passing dream where sparrows die
my pillow underneath her arms
and her eyes always buying my watercolors
drifting through her lips
all I ever wanted
one last song to end my agony
and your hands folding my skin into a butterfly

Artifacts of memory and sweat
two moths
hover in hunger near a cemetery
circling and cadaverous
they relent
shamelessly
gorging on rotten flesh
midnight letters to a dead God
-- how cliché
what comes on tongues and arsenic
what comes on
in the dreary sleep
hover in hunger near a cemetery
circling and cadaverous
they relent
shamelessly
gorging on rotten flesh
midnight letters to a dead God
-- how cliché
what comes on tongues and arsenic
what comes on
in the dreary sleep

My lovely alien
I curse you, my jailer my lover
robotic and alien, not from earth anymore
amnesia is my sin you say, I laugh and polish
a small knife preparing dinner for you once again
I curse my heart for being too happily hungry,
your lips your lips, were empty prayers
never enough to sate my thirst
I want this world to take you as its' prisoner and burn
you in apocalyptic fire
unfortunately as you say, promises will never make
a marriage and aliens make bad partners
goodbye alien from another planet, I won't...

Buy surrender and Presidential letter
Seagulls ballet across the ocean in celebration.
"Make way for the King, his birth untouchable!"
How sad, we dream and dream an imperfect film.
We know every detail, we've seen every frame.
Stop sleepwalking!
Change happens when you say No!
We are wired for War, we are wired for Peace.
Our voice is our blood, our blood is our voice.
Do not let them grind our bones to dust.
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
--last line comes from Dylan Thomas, Do not go gentle into that good night

Our voice is our blood, our blood is our voice.
Do not let them grind our bones to dust.

Cassandra
Daughter of Kingly Priam, virgin priestess divine swallow,
your visions warn Troy's burning, they ignore prophesy.
March forward Apollo's songbird and witness his curse.

my lips shape your lips into a swallow's song
my hands shape your hands into a mountain spring
my body shapes your body into a holy church
my heart is your heart, everlasting

Oh' starry Pandora, first born blood softly molded.
Zeus commands your creation, their intent your gift your torment.
First woman gentle and guileless, you are loved you are Hope.

The Catwalk
She prepares for war
nine inch stiletto heels mark her as a fierce
peacock.
She covers her face in warpaint
prays to all the fashion gods for a perfect walk.
She's a Hollywood star
ready to slay all the heartless photogs.
She hits the runways of Paris, New York, and Kabul
dares those who would make her surrender with black eyeliner and luscious heels
to go fuck themselves with their own guns till God cums.
--in response to those killed in Orlando

Helen of Troy
Oh' Helen blushing peacock, your feathers like Sirens
capture men in marble chains, happy they sing these foolish souls.
Cursed Helen a thousand ships sailed, dying dreamless at your feet.

Sweet lullaby in succulent hues
Let's carve snow angels on winter's skin,
calla lily in birth.
Let's carve snow angels on winter's skin,
softly muffle his cries.
Winter needs to keep quiet,
he's such a flirt,
let's carve snow angels on winter's skin.
calla lily in birth.
Let's carve snow angels on winter's skin,
softly muffle his cries.
Winter needs to keep quiet,
he's such a flirt,
let's carve snow angels on winter's skin.

Lay me to rest
bury all in concrete
cathedrals
shiv my prison warden
stab his body
make him bleed
I suffocate on soul contracts
too binding for Lucifer's tongue
fresh kill
etched on my tombstone
hyenas circle
cathedrals
shiv my prison warden
stab his body
make him bleed
I suffocate on soul contracts
too binding for Lucifer's tongue
fresh kill

Cleopatra
Mock not, full width and war, never more
never less, each woman hides their inner child
until, truth be absolute and love opens doors.
Stand witness, Cleopatra sighed near the Nile
river waiting for precious Mark Antony.
The ancient gods blessed her soulful prayer
at a price, this soulmate manifest the seed
of Egypt's fall. Roma victrix, our jailer
by Caesar spoke. Curse kingly men and love foul,
my soul abandoned, all doors now closed.
Where is Antony? This man, I scream and howl,
I made him a god, I now laugh at his ghost.
What fools these...
never less, each woman hides their inner child
until, truth be absolute and love opens doors.
Stand witness, Cleopatra sighed near the Nile
river waiting for precious Mark Antony.
