The After-Death
The sun ate the world today
When what we trusted to give us light
Was the apocalypse of everything we loved
Daylight betrays us
And everything is a shadow
When life in the here and now
Is just death waiting to happen
We exist as time bombs
Damaging everyone
Left in the wake of destruction
We are born and we die beyond our control
From womb to graveyard
All that we have is what's in the dash
From first years to last breath
...
When what we trusted to give us light

And everything is a shadow

We are born and we die beyond our control
From womb to graveyard
All that we have is what's in the dash

Beast?
They crashed into a murky time and place
and found a giant’s cave to shelter in
He claimed them as his prey with leering face
Lascivious, the hunger in his grin.
She offered up herself to save the child,
unto the heathen stranger bared her breast
But -- blood he scented on the breezes wild
and left her untouched, breathless and perplexed.
With curdling howl he vanished to the chase
A moonless night in frigid dew they spent
They both feared his return back to that place
But she also feared his abandonment

Deep Down.
Deep down,
far below,
my back against the lowest point,
among the bones of those who’d gone before.
Eyes are open,
may as well be closed,
the faintest glimpse of daylight far above from which I fall,
the crushing weight of the empty air confines me to the pit.
The need to reach out my arms,
Withheld by the lack of empathy vacated from my soul.
Invisible opponent whom I know to be myself.
Born into a never ending battle where the blood is spilt within,

All's Unwell That Ends Unwell
Malfunctioning
Neurological misfiring of pulverized memory
What is the dream and what is reality
Revert back to a time
I saw demons in the faces
Of everyone that I loved
Trying to discern the difference between
The motive of the heart in everything said
What is delusion and what is the evidence
Something unseen
Am I alive or am I dead?
Memories, farewell down the hallway
Elementary kisses blown
I was safest in the curriculum
There's no place like the books
When everything hits too close to...

Bonding
My soul reappeared right before the flood
It was foaming at the mouth and covered in blood
It was pounding on my psyche begging to reunite
I double locked the doors and hid from its sight
I ran into the room and hid under the bed
Clamped my hands over my ears to hear what it said
In an icy voice that seemed both near and far
The voice echoed for hours "we are, we are"
I hid in the closet the perfect place to forget
It was my emotional shield, hiding me from pain and regret
My soul was raging it wanted to know why
It...
It was foaming at the mouth and covered in blood
It was pounding on my psyche begging to reunite
I double locked the doors and hid from its sight
I ran into the room and hid under the bed
Clamped my hands over my ears to hear what it said
In an icy voice that seemed both near and far
The voice echoed for hours "we are, we are"
I hid in the closet the perfect place to forget

Morbid Messengers Inc.
Promenading on a phantom planet,
Planned it being less dramatic,
Our frantic habitat deconstruction,
I couldn't think of a better way to be,
Chained to temporal dispensaries,
Swinging us around a bed of firestorms,
If it pleases the court how we might end up,
I admire the gallantry, particle participation,
Across a tapestry of time and space,
Wondering where our place is in this,
Shifted into every moment from its end,
The eleventh hour in the fourth dimension,
Surpassing my surprise for happiness,
Hacking away...

A Little Mojo
Could it be the pipes in the basement that rattle,
or a ghost of my old lady screaming profane,
echoing off the walls, ricocheting in my dreams.
With a cold spot in my heart, of her bickering names,
wanting a cock of a fifth dimension, and throbbing,
at a higher level.
But dead cocks suffer rigor mortis, and don't spit the roux,
so I stoked ass in the furnace, with her swan song,
sending her off with crochet needles, to perform a little mojo.
Knit one, pearl two.
or a ghost of my old lady screaming profane,
echoing off the walls, ricocheting in my dreams.
With a cold spot in my heart, of her bickering names,
wanting a cock of a fifth dimension, and throbbing,
at a higher level.

so I stoked ass in the furnace, with her swan song,
sending her off with crochet needles, to perform a little mojo.
