I tried that in my only room, I've thrown away the key
to my only room
circumstances have forced this path
we haven't much time left
(undecipherable)
the uncollapsing breaks out of heaven
(blah?) the aftergrowth, the murder
the blood will flow
creation's own depiction of sanity in a blankened shaft
The Image of Red Cut in Half
the image of half-breed hauled across hurricanes
torched dog chart
bring me bring me my tongue on a plate
bring me bring me joy
join that blank man tree
moving inverted with a habit of uprise alternatively create
and bring forth flames like parasites of absolution
bring me bring me my tongue on a plate
take me, with my own blind reason
who am I but the last breath you took?
who am I but the last down in the street asking me why?
a black thorn in my side
forget me for I am too blank to remember
your idiocy collapses into nothing
words of the earth gather around me
words of the silence repulse me
I cover my face with my hands
because again I am too scared to move
silently I found white light in the image
curses curses curses
when I thought about down the scene overpulsed me
I stick my tongue to the floor of my only room
frozen incarcerated (blah?) beast
the innermost quality of man
inexplicable feat for the martyrs
that is the sharpest point of the forces of nature
moving inverted with a habit of uprise alternatively create
and bring end to the silence

Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
