i budget bribes that are doled out freely it is a living but now you visit me i have the help you've been vainly seeking namelessly seeking blanching at naming i wouldn't promise the sun to the sky nor something better softer and warmer but all you must do you have done already the world won't change greatly won't change so greatly rainfall into cars warm sun on snow day all you've done remember all you do this city sleeps i am sure it does the lawns they are planting steam in the morning i praise the round earth as we meet on the corner the hospital called me and asked if you're happy blade of the earth in a shiver resounding the buses still empty endless per morning this city sleeps i am sure it does i hear it breathing steam in the morning one cry to bear repeating engines scream in the distance you're welcome since you've seen dust fall from my bare feet this i feel i leave behind this city sleeps i am sure it does

shouting 01:40
a nightmare lies behind your eyes they dream of cruelty to me this morning baked them on my radiator until they were the purple i'd imagined food has fallen in front of my face lights are planted in bottles the whirRrR and gurgle of the home i've made repeats the tarnish on my broken watch is the color of the corpses of the insects breathing thru a stuffy nose is all that sounds above the breaker flipping easy now they days are long they give me what i need to think i'm evil we can be whatever we want why am i afraid to hear you shouting?

the light on the dusty tide's coming in like frontiersman's fabric is blue to the skin i'm a hairless actor moons to the sky raised in their time other side another door life to come blue as buildings smooth as your fresh candle walls final wooden porches carbuncles hide soft life in ice there's your breathing i'm standing at your table show me your helpless concern ruby ruby ruby ruby ruby all this endless waiting will never begin or the movement thru it it must be time this must be time there is nothing where my dance lives in space only looks like falling like grins from the face how else could i fear it? melting life under ice/there's your sigh

halcyonward 02:57
as the cloth of the lamplight i just couldn't float high enough but in these dregs of coffee and vinegar i can answer to my future chime sweet cage of will unaltered give me strength to drink ugly water but i could live up to acid it could be so much easier halcyon and warm and unrepetitive halcyon and limp and operatorless halcyon and wind heals softly over skin halcyon and calm in spite and not because o brave soul so mismanaged flaming sword of midnight pearskin red and gold you weave your basket in the image of death's distraction

sphericolor 02:18
no one said i was not at fault still i don't like your turn of phrase i am steadfast in staying up at the wind fit to stir a stone a new finger has opened up the smallest wounds will never close i've got one block to walk tonight and rotate in the atmosphere orphan welters and dreams what to sell her his body grows warmer as morning grows distant his sword has been frozen half-cocked in its scabbard he's fallen in her flowers who lives on top of this most perfect staircase? whose hips well-loved enough to wander these halls? who does their washing without paying for the privilege? who watches graveyard fireworks from the roof? who calls the tendril from inside the burner? who got the spiders to start pulling their weight? who shuts their window in the silence of darkness? who lives on top of this most perfect staircase? hot air cold floor i would like to be emptier let you thru not just let you in and keep feeling your tendrils grow up from the floor and thru my back sorry i do not have a bell you'll have to shout when you're outside nothing but lights strung thru these halls to mine the air for healthy dust orphan swelters and dreams what to tell her the sun isn't rising must be daylight savings they've hung up his sword on the wall of his bedroom but not his old bedroom
