Intermittent through dreams drinking the syllables of books
Cast before my eyes, I was at the bottom of nooks and crannies

Now a burning house on fire;
None’s here to rush or shout for help:
There’s None for it a crier…

Kinship, I need you
   Friendship, I seek you
Suspend common feeling
   Portend a wish come true

Hand grenade carnged torsos
   Standing alone I'm unafraid, but I weep
Disbanding the grotesgue and the...
