Handwritten Letters

Two men walk
In long coats
Through a fog
Made of ghosts
One walks hand in hand
One walks knife in hand
These are the thoughts that I've buried
In an anonymous grave
I open the shadow box
I enter the city of worms
I pass facades of houses gutted by fire
Those terrifying thoughts
They get internalized
The spit of bees
The corpses of leaves
Sifting the ashes for teeth
The words from the wall
Say "I was here."

Sitting alone in the past
Bones in the furnace
In the forest
Something gets by
Sitting alone in the blackness
Empty mattress
Dirty dampness
Lead paint
And motion sensor lights

The Bells

I run my fingers along the fence
The long broadsword tips cut them
I should have known you'd be there
Alone around the corner waiting for me
I should have known you'd had it in for me
Let me lag
Let me lay
Lift me to the end of the blade
Maintenant
Il pluet
Right now
It's raining
The color of blood mixed with water

The Well

|

Raised from the well
In wooden pails
Served up on trays
Of school lunches
Clusters of ash
We all fall down
Flowers of Green Springs
Mowed underground
Run little children
Run away
Run away from home
The cautionary tale
Has been ignored
Cold hand of death
Won't over us pass
Flowers of the spring
Plucked from the grass

Go down
Again
Return me
Underneath
Go down, go down
To my long sleep

Victoria & Albert
The beginning for
Paris & Bettine
I met you on a train
In a ghost hotel
In the garret where we lived
The roof began to cave in
My love will you stay?
My love won't you stay?
Well you will or you won't
But I cannot wait in the moat
In abandoned houses
In cactus skeletons
In a lost diary
Are the things you're hiding
And I will never know
Cause I will let you go
On the unused third floor
We will remain forever more

Demolition day
Of all those inner spaces
Those internal places
Inner cemeteries
Demolition day
Of all your mental landscapes
Dismantled mindscapes
Haunted and empty
Detonated memory
