The lighthouse flashed periodically
As I stood and watched the ocean's arms
Slap into the precipice of rocks
Rocks that sit there and get beat
...
Wonderful advance
With smile and dance
Collapse your body on me
Bronze fawn skin
...
Old and worn is our plumage
None too bright and none too fresh
We have traveled great distances
Standing like snakes in a daze
...
He has a beautiful song
An ascending measure with a buzzy quality
He sits on low branches
Among semi-open areas
...
The lights have turned off
The sound of the switch echoes
Like a web. Darkness envelopes.
Feeling suspended and weightless
...
Lean on me with putrid weight
As you've done so much
Crooked and forlorn
Brittle but strong
...
Olden days crept from stench
The stench of blank eyes and empty skulls
Gasp
They hear it moving
...
