One. Upon the eve of every truth…
Street lights hymn across the slides
above the piquant temperature of breathless rivers
drowning the buoyant harvest of circular cities calling
But my legs are too weak to turn these billboards
Into blood painted walls screaming 'anarchy'
Or to have palms caress smooth steel roads into oblivion
The spin doctors are at work,
the laws of liberation upon a soldier's fallen knees
I've forgiven transcendence for the ashes mingle with soil
And so speaks the self confessed savior, tap dancing on his heels:
One. Desire must not be governed by discourse. The penis especially so.
Two. Pretence is like the condom that guarantees fornication.
Three. _expression_ is truly not an over-rated emotion.
The self confessed narcissist: "where the fuck did my dose of indulgence go?"
Four. Upon the eve of every birth, death must justify itself.
Segments fall into illusionary lines, embodiment of faiths nonplussed
Falling wings of deep-rooted trees, towards the night I'll find tears to cry
Or lift my chin to face the span of truth kissing the gold sprinkled rays
Sliding puppets on strings,
My skin sinks into pavements walked upon
The rage of moonlit skies, the triumphant sun and the paralysis beneath
Silver grains of sand spread beyond the yonder
As plastic spreads, inching upon my breasts, the self confessed savior
tap dancing on his heels, carved his truce upon it:
One. Upon the eve of every truth…
