Ribbons Iii

In halls of idol wind Ribbons of rain Ribbons of pain Ribbons of the insane Flying down the avenues Hands clutching the wheel Eyes blur as my mind swims… of my intellect's ravaged ruined labyrinth. Tangling in the rivers of my specter ridden waste. Ribbons pulling tight The passion' of complex structure. The cutting of the flesh in life. The ribbons of rain Dulled and stained Running out of light Traffic passing left and right My hands of ragged bone Grips the steering wheel… The pain running in blinding ribbons of red down obscure stone. Tangling the seas of dreams My escape into the Void's boundary's I am wading in the rains of the insane. Ribbons sway in the halls of the idle wind I see the mark of Cain. An idol raped in ragged ribbons Ribbons of red Ribbons of dread Ribbons tangled in the hands of ravaged bone Flesh and marrow Rage riddled redden nails Claw along idol halls The skin goes pail Horn’s blair… Crumbling stone Some where it runs What have they done? Ribbons wrap Ribbons rain Ribbons of the insane… I jerk my head awake As ribbons of light blind Screaming tires flash of taillights Crash of metal, car horn blares, fall sparkling window glass. The beep of a machine a ribbon of life…
