Belly Rose Ghost Sunlight Disincarnate

Look at me your bittersweet memory tied up 
in knots, wheeled to an early grave buried 12 feet 
smoked naked to the early morning. 
Awake just like your butterfly cracker color shake. 

Split jaded kisses. 
Ashes corrupted fire. 
Passion sweet wind's departure. 
Hold on to the steal and 
waltz to the thunder's sky. 

Dust a light feather breezed through 
the room. 
Stoned for 9:00 weather. 
Cold fingers sweet enough 
to puff grandma's scarf on 
the 4:00 news. 
Decaying body returns from the 
grave looking for revenge and 
a summer night's rage. 
Ghosts drinking tea their soul 
rifting the stage. 
A maze of bones. 
Victims for the early pain. 

A dead disease 
broken and distorted spread 
to be free lungs tied to breath. 
Fleeting, weeping, forgiving. 
Empty, alone, sleeping. 
Delicate midnight peeping two 
eyes torn between life but no 
point to pull the ache the spirit 
doesn't lie. 
1 inch tree willow praying 
there is a line but divide your 
hairs and nestle toes, a broken 
head. 
Rest, the puzzle is shifting red. 
Piece together the change of sadness. 
Death is a dance. 
Ride the wind.
