Emmanuel Stone Poems

'This city is an animal, fierce and complicated. To understand it I read its droppings, its scents, the movements of its parasites' -Rorschach

Living in the city
one loses oneself
...

'Science is the Tree of Death' -William Blake

Tree of Death, I embrace you!
You provide me shelter and warmth
...

Where do you go
when your beloved radio show
has stopped playing your favourite tunes?
...

I.
The Venom in someone so young
dancing with their mind
makes them sing and sleep
...

I have talked to the sun, baby
and it sang me a song

It was slow and monotonous
...

Music built from nothing,
face with resistance,
but created to unite.
Making the best of absence
...

You know you're down when you dance with shadows
and drink with memories and still don't feel alive.

And when the sun won't make the birds sing
...

I'm waiting
to be taken away
and where I go
only Time can take me
...

I have been dreaming to get stoned for some time
lose my place within the world
and understand nothing for bliss.
...

Soul Thieves gonna rock you down
and slam you around,
break you in,
so stay for tea.
...
