2. The Tongue Of Pain
The tongue of pain,
A sip of blood,
Delicious taste
Of precious mud...
The gold of sweet
On gummy sculls,
A smile of trash
On lips of gulls.
Your poisoned friends
Are seeking sky.
They flock and drug,
They fuck and die.
The Moon-face grins,
It swallows tides.
Its soul sleeps.
In dreams it cries.
A wave of fluke
Will sink your hate.
In sea of silt
It can't but wait.
It keeps a gun
With sickly pills
To cure earthquakes
Or the thrills.
Your being is fiction,
Your dream is mire.
You rave and rove
And set on fire.
Can't stop your race
In bloody rain.
A flash of dark
Will full your pain.
5. Snowdancing
Snowdancing
Possesses my soul.
I am slipping
On the snow.
My blue heart
Is white with horror.
My sweet dream's
A dream of sorrow.
I wish
I were not an owl -
Keen and strong
Until the dawn.
My fear
Will disappear
When I know
That the night is near.
But I'm shot
By a fatal arrow,
A sniggering gnome's
Caught in the snow.
He's sneering me down,
His mind snow-bound,
He is my lot,
A snake in the snow.
His smouldering soul's
Smothering my hope.
Smiting me with horror
He's getting in my road.
But still snowdancing
Is everywhere around.
The snow's falling down,
It's touching the ground.
It reigns in the world,
It's whirling about.
It's reinless like a wild horse,
It's soft as down.
It says:
I'm so close,
But you cannot see me,
You hear my coming
While your body's dreaming...
