when my eyes burn with deadened desire

where do the ashes fall

what station marks this cross upon which i hang in the balance

and why don't you hear my loud but lowly call

how have i oxidized my oversaturated colored lens

which is clouding my restitution

in this galley i wait for it

until my blood red tongue swallows your revolution

search       destroy       incarnate

lets make a playdate with playdough and forcefields and fill the atlantic ocean with jasmine and lillies white

hide and seek

i'll count to fourteen billion and you swim until your arms can't carry you any further

until your arms tire with exhaustion

until the hunter scores his game and skins the lame duck for supper

but i'll find you in the intestinal riverway to rebirth

with ninety nine luft balloons in hand

i'll execute alice and annihilate wonderland in one fell swoop

are you with me

or should i continue in my self imposed pedantric prison

either way i'll see you by way of the gatekeeper

prayers stop here

and i disappear with a whisper
