(
Brewster-
Neeson-
Brewster)(
Remember looking at the haunted grace bow down to the storm?remember searching for a familiar face with no one thereto mourn?)
Staring at silent screensplastic tubes to carry fading dreamspreacher, servant in their hallwarm blood on the palace wallthose who dine alone in hellwearing grief in their lapeldrop small change in wishing wellsthe haunted tear that never fellsomeone's dragging a ball and chainlooking for you in the pouring rainwhile those who care give silent prayer for lovers going home
If there was a brickwall surrounding the New York sceneif there were secrets locked in steelif there was a button you could press on the luck machineif there was a place for wounds to healif you were borne in the barbwire of your mother's wombif you were hungry before you diedif you say you left your bath all clean and whiteyou know, I know you liedremember the poet who said it firsthe was speaking of you and your difficult birthhow you can say a prayer for lovers going home
Drinking from an empty cupwaiting for the rot to growdistant sounds that can't be heardand no one knowschildren who don't mind the rainyet have no wish to diewhatever your own world could've beenyou'd feel better if you could cry
Dawn is breaking in the graveyard
People massing in the streettrampled heards beneath their feetchildren playing with the deadsilver spoon stained with redwatching through a widow's veilas Caesar desecrates the Holy Grailyou sit all alone in your front row seatyou look so small and frailyou're mud on the feet of the men you've damnedyou're darkness come too soonyou should be selling two-bit watches and girly photographsmasterpiece in ruinyou're pantomime of old world courtesyyou should have a degree for how-o-lotryyou should be a hazard agent in an apartment towerwith no technologydid you ever listen to the poles opposed to youdid you ever stop to ask?did you ever smile and hide your wasted lipsdid you ever lift your mask?did you ever walk with your feet on bytill they take your place in line?did you know that you belongwhere wrong is right and right is wrong?did you really think that you'd be left wherepower is life and life is death?-------------------------------------------------------------------------
