before bed the concrete house

Concrete and ocean


Before bed time the trees fall kind of dreary and numb, 

broken even to tears, 

to the beach plot where its all laid out in the wind swept hill

and I have ten years of my time

no time before I succumb with wild horses

to smoking and alcoholism

in my brutalist tomb of safety and windows light

of coffee and paintings the size of my wall, 

my wallet the size of the ball

all night long the art life for me 

as the smoke goes up into space with my 

holy ghost

outer space swimming with weird lights, 

I am quiet inside all day

and with what time I have left tonight, 

tonight, and only now tonight, you are the one

you are the one

I am with you now come get me

black iron lovers

stand up and fight, the moons white slice through yellow bread.

a howl is heard screaming up from the broken distance. 

something is reborn, 

something that had been afraid, stepped on and squished. 

waterfall roaring up and into this full ear of rainbow

and the blood pumps like a drum of war, and the blood spills out red into my hands

kill the monsters its shouts at me

kill the rot with this flame of blazing word,

a flame of blazing birds, 

a place without unheard 

kill the rot and harbour the deal

until time turns over and dies
