willing all within its walls

DREAMY SKY

Cassidy pens all I see.
His quill carves stars into drifting steam,

My Man, His it
...A mother to you, a son to me, sucking the life out of my bosom and weep in disgust when it's saggy.

Where hunger is measured and profit is praised.

Shuffled up to the altar,
pearly white shoes scraping over
faded white tile dirtied by the footsteps

The devil sits upon his throne
In the fiery pits of hell

Looking in them I just drown
Arms so tight they do not wobble
Holding me up as I hobble

Back in the Feathered Fish Days

Last night in the dark,
while in the restless curdle of old dreams,

When stars in heaven were aligned.

When their vinaigrette failed to curdle,
Their blitz emulsification ill-fated,

For God's only purpose
We search for the goal
On Hideous bible planes we reach
And love and learn and
Cry and teach
We are far gone

there are night birds;
they call to each other in the dark
