Nightshade Lullaby


Oh I've had enough of these ambulatory angels
Screaming ingots spun
in our ivory maiden's cyclops eye.

A crypt cuckoo tower
with sarcophagus marble
eye shark dead and self assured

stitched a flea bitten cat o nine tails

Oh I've had enough ambulatory angels
our universal children throwing lipstick

To the needy who hear crib death
and roast beneath
The sarcophagus' cracked tower
eyes shark dead and self assured

Soft as a pearl bitten cat o nine tail;
verse is pyrite's finish, raining dayglo
The meadows rifled with the bodiless deja vu.

Pure music is the cry for the shepherd's hand
