The Girl With Eyes As Black As Crows
On that night the moon seemed hidden from her starry brothers
The kind of night not suited for the fighters nor the lovers
I ventured out only to put out the low burning lamp
When there I saw...

my body racked with pain,
Nothing green in sight,

Follow the Bouncing Ball
She dresses the land down
in a virginal bridal gown
a masterfully cut and sewn chenille
shines brightly with a fine crystal appeal
Her assistants work quite diligently
to add special touches and then flee
they decorated the mountain peaks

The Bug's Tale
A bug upon a green leaf sat
Cautiously eyeing up a cat
Who, unaware of the bug's intentions
Continued with its cruel conventions:
Of catching a mouse then setting it free
Then leaping up it once more with glee
Until the...

What did the sisters think, when once they found
Their land-struck sibling left them, surface-bound,
To find the prince and try to make him see
That the girl who rescued him was she?
Did they know what happened...

Slowly creeping out of winter
Would it ever be the same
If I showed up at your door
Out of breath, out of line
With a million excuses behind my manic behavior?
A video diary full...

from your

The Loser Behind the Mask
My mind is a war wasteland equipped with exploding landmines
decisions limited; sharpened claws are sinking into me
scarring my flesh upon impact into my lungs
breathe...I can't...breathe
I admit I'm not sure, I admit I'm confused
I admit I...

Brought forth, force to kneel, before the newly crowned

As an easy pushover and soft touch lamenting my demise
As an easy pushover and soft touch lamenting my demise

sharpened their knives
and licked their lips
while eyeing me as their naked lunch
bound and...

And as they sit and talk an old legend is reborn.

in my shortening future.
Diminishing now
into year by year forecasts,
no longer this seventh decade
