A Song For Douglas After He's Dead |
He crouches on the floor, there’s a mask on the wall. |
And he leafs, through the pages of a book. |
But wait as he may in the shadow of other leaves. |
His heart, in embraces to times long since scorched. |
The horizont folds over, with a purpose sun rise. |
And the wind, carry smoke, from a earth that is burning. |
The smoke clogs in his hair, and he’s covered with patterns. |
And a decent, of life trees, on his camouflaged soul. |
With a winter of memories, carved ponder bone white. |
Beyond his sculls for, a scorpion lies. |
In the crunch of the snow, as his darkness increases. |
A twilight of ice, encircles his teeth. |
This is a song for Douglas, after he’s dead. |
This is a song for Douglas, his mercury dances. |
There’s a swastika carved, in the palm of his hand. |
There’s a crooked cross, that is caught in his eyes. |
There waits a falling sun, in his mind. |
There’s the honor, of violence, on his lips. |
His father waits for him, at the towers of silence. |
Where they worship the fires, so long ago cringed. |
But the two will oh trees, with el has inverted. |
The fork of life snapped. |
They are father and son. |
So mingling dust, as if life itself, had been mostly illusion. |
But parchly real. |
And parchly pain. |
And over some wall, if you look through rebels. |
Amongst ruins of churches, where life conquers death. |
Thou empires can not last, where blood and concepts. |
The folted and failed. |
A cloud still sow his teeth. |
As the world disappears. |
This is a song for Douglas, after he’s dead. |
This is a song for my Douglas, his mercury dances. |
