Alexipharmic

Alexipharmik, � � �
or the forgetter in the tower//// � � �
� � �
� � �
[ alexipharmic in the morning � � �
t' make the Sunlight smooth and warming, � � �
uh-lek-suh-FAHR-mik in the evening � � �
�to speed time away forever ] � � �
� � �
� � �
� � �
We who art gathered here today ! � � �
� � �
�� in our victim-hood /and coats of perpetual adolescence ; � � �
� � �
we �who art shriveled askew/ skewered feverish upon � � �
�� the octagonal earth � � �
� � �
who art bastards of the bedlam heart � � �
� � �
�( � � �/who art a real damn drum of a skull mmhmm) � � �
� � �
�� str'tchdttt over the black hours spent � � �
� � �
at dagger point 'til near kisstt � � �
�� the lips of carrion dawn mmmhmm. � � �
� � �
� � �
� � �
( � � �Oh did ye forget O forgetful ye?) � � �
� � �
/Regretfully...regretfully o ye � � �
� � �
�� bound to jilt in silt � / and go grinning in iron masks and spinning � � �
such a confusion of tongues � � �
� � �((warms the cockles of my gun it does oh ye ) � � �
�� stiffened in onyx �and fitting indeed ill-fitting � � �
� � �
�between the coil of mandrakes which twist � � �
�'twixt shadow and crimson light, she become my �wings � � �
�� t' swerve we wayward thru the baldfacedt night. � � �
� � �
� � �
( � � �but sublimation is not sublime! � � �
�� and life �much more, [egads!] � � �
�� than subliminal tricks of mind ! � ) � � �
� � �
� � �
�� went down zoo musik way/ wheres we stray and say and say �
�� bend'tt quick to wreck n roll my brain! � � �
�� for I do not care to know nor dream again ! � � � � � �
� � �
so ssh-s-sh-s-shake yer head oh ye � � �
but dig that I am an angel too, � � �
fallen from doubtless Babel high � � �
and blind perhaps in three eyes � � �
- and yet and yet- - � � �
� � �
(-� one can always shoo shoo shoot � � �
�� straight 'nuff, he means, � � �
�� fer devilish means, he means.... ) � � �
� � �
�� being to trip ev'ry step the way � � �
with all subtlety and fine grace � � �
o'course o;course � � �
( &CCCCCCC how he give good sheen, good head, good face?) � � �
� � �
� � �
�� ...and woke starcrossedt and seaward ever � � �
&&dug a hole in the vein � � �
�� from here to Mars or wherever � � �
��
O easy peasy as you please young sir, � � �
� � �
�� & backedt my car hither � � �
� � �
�� right up the stairs I did,,,, and held you there � � �
� � �
�� 'til I �felts �no further pulse, � � �
or blame, nor pain, or aught else ------- � � �
� � �
- and hence left the body hence/ � � �
� � �
to drift drift amongst the stars � � �
and avarice scope of measureless sky that once was ours . � � �
