:: A WHORE CAN'T CHANGE HER SPOTS ::
Don’t pin your hopes on her, she’ll only push nails into your hands
and watch them as crosses tear the skin across your back
(to the wall) where we all saw her clawing
at the corners of your faithful and undivided form.
(Splitting your name
on the lips of her grave)
I’m not going home without all the air in this room
pressed into my pocket.
You’re much too young and the choices that you’ve made
will see you to the grave
But we press on. We impress on,
we’re impressions and nothing more.
But we press on. We impress on.
Nobody leaves here with the air in their lungs
or words on their tongues
and no-one among you will give up so much as a whisper.
We press on. We impress on.

:: POSTCONCEPTIONS ::
The night is a Black Flag masquerade,
filled by the fists that hold the gold-plated teeth
that you pulled from the corpse of an age.
And the punches you sold
for a place at the table
where everyone sharpens their claws
and conforms.
Did they rust? Did they rot in the air
as you watched them corrode?
Turn their graves. Turn their graves and call them your own.
The tear in the shirt that you show
like a trophy to stand on your bruise-painted cheeks
just won’t do.
It just won’t do.

:: COLD RUSH SONG ::
A son to the Northern Lights,
star-crossed in a Southern sky
Waiting out on the Western front
watch them bow to an Eastern hunt
(They’ll build this new world with your bones)
I sleep atop the golden hill,
innocent and ever still
They speak my name with a foreign tongue
and televise their first steps on the sun
Promises corrode their teeth
like lying lips that preach belief
Are you a teacher of this word?
Or are you merely a device?
Blue eyes will manifest the end
Blue eyes with the tail of a beast
Cherry lips with the tail of a beast
Tight thighs with the tail of a beast
Blue eyes with the tail of a beast
Supple breasts with the tail of a beast
Red heels with the tail of a beast
Virgin hips with the tail of a beast
Blue Eyes with the tail of a beast
They’ll build this new world with your bones.
