Hymn to Self Destruction

I'm sparkle Embodied

I'm glamorous

like Jesus

    dying of sins

I'm wild confused

   I see stars



Morning's expectant

  apocolyptic kiss

       blood

we're       magic

       happy  

devoted to dying

   sowing vomit

  in the streets



the working day

is eaten alive by

    weekend abortions of



Decency  Common Sense Dignity

      

All

derelections the

day time dandys swear to



There is fire in the sky tonight.

I have broken the

bottle open

and spangled out demons.



We're all going

to die.

I'll end with broken knees

Lord, they'll bury me

in a suit!

Is it any wonder we fear the

greatness of Death!

Mad weeping relatives

and dead me, not a hair

out of place!

His lungs collapsed!

Call his stylist!

Away to rot and not

a sip of rum.

I'll make them all

salute straight faced

and fart!



In gorgeous ties we'll

drink our dignity down



in fields we'll

do what hobos do but better

in time we'll

discover we shouldn't

or should have done but harder

in slicked up funeral suits

we'll know with what eyes to

look back

tho until given those eyes

we'll drink us blind



The future is an

empty

       savings accounts

and I am a harlequin

a savage leper of

wildly unmystical design

       overdrawn on

        everything

a doppelganger wrestler

in dark conflict with

       the night  

to wrest the right

  from his arms

for the rainbow

painted peace which is

my secret desire



In my dreamings I am aching

to sing lonesome on some tender

patch of land

at night

I have unclear recollections

of skys of dark purple

explosions of pure air

from anglic dawn of time

innocence, peace
