lyrics

pissed and scaredy-walking home
asunderstrikes
nightclaps
icy gold in dollops
rules down upon yer head
upon and up and down the
lines and lines of sixty storey crypts.
a hidden scene
you hurry past
a crowbar wends its way
into a heart
you hear
chunky thoughts alight
a mongrel's mane
in an nightman's alley off the path
the bloke was only getting up and going on
and on
off the footpath
a bitch barks
a wolf gives chaste
a lamb a block away
takes a breath
and cash
only
from a fox
a keen wit
a blue slake
a greedy butcher bird
lachrymases
a wretched hen
she’s pecked
some friend to death
again
again
and

you’re close, you think
a last forever sodium stretches
on like pillars
you have dead dogs for legs
you think you hear
and then you picture
gnashing up behind you
molten mouths
I've heard that gold
it’ssssssss
the first to run
and dance upon
the softly sublimating bones
by now, the blood
a vicious arcing cloud
cracking cryptward
in red and
white hot gold
a lamplight hums
and sparks
it’s gone
a shock
there’s nothing when you look around
retched-in blurs they slink about
you’re unaccustomed to this lack
before you know
a dripping row of shadows
goad
a sprint from leaden legs
you hammer concrete in the dark
home
this way, you think
that
til you see the glow
a first familiar thing,
not by location
but by sense
seeing is the only sense that shows
how much light differs from
the dark

the dark
you find yourself a corner
and alone
you know this corner
you’re alone
you remember
you’re closer than you thought
you hurry hurry home
you hurry hurry home
you hurry hurry home
you hurry, hurry home
