One Two Eight
Don't leave with someone else,
from this house of killers,
telling lies seal your debts,
will you spell out why,
you are at your limit,
can't even face the sky,
have me lie re credit,
leavened of my spirit,
perish that awful test,
to be like a child,
bones of saints for relics,
left untended enlightened,
loved only by my friends,
a course in middle distance,
while my tears are spent,
hear a blessing in my cry,
show concern at every instant,
escape by a flash of sight,
rejoice with hidden incense,
take decisions teeth gritted,
thank me for your absence,
go away this minute.
One Two Seven
Here's the question,
why on a secret phone,
you don't hear my request,
if there's no case,
to your creaking bones,
why walk away,
you suffer whispers,
in hushed magenta tones,
yet lightly still trespass,
don't blame me,
for taking the loans,
i'm the one that's steady,
why are you like this,
flushed as a trombone,
to escape their insouciance,
your voice sounds great,
no one really condones,
a quiet line of hate,
be careful at inquests,
a face blue as bone,
unknown bitter cigarettes,
you smoke as your own.

One Two Six
You consider my duress,
and want me for your needs,
spit saliva at the crest.
what is it you do,
when you're ill at ease,
do you hail a tribune,
children left without success,
this office is your creed,
you only crave excess,
sobbing with fake news,
power is your creed,
across this shining avenue,
my dreams struggle to confess,
of wine dark waters deep,
pray sometimes for a rest,
you want no excuse,
to see the wounds of history,
a turtled mound of refuse,
this water is far too fresh,
to bathe and drink all evening,
love me like the best,
let me taste the sea.

One Twenty Five
God is my breakfast test,
summer within a lover's storm,
don't i feel blessed,
smiling dangerously,
with her failing lymphoma,
the troubles start with me,
howling with tremendous zest,
her complaints grow enormous,
like some ferocious beast,
she’s a lightning seed,
for horrors that are brightly worn,
her own epiphany,
please give it a rest,
this thunderous performance,
i'm not at my best,
before even Dejeuner,
music rises like a claw,
a fist inside says serendipity,
is this the palimpest,
to act like never born,
my own litmus test,
we dance around the floor.

One Two Four
My vision comes too late,
not so easy to squeeze,
what I need to say,
you boil at my thunder,
exploding like a tree,
lost in luck or numbers,
you'll find out one day,
if you let me keep,
plans you’ve thrown away,
a life uncluttered,
my insides screech,
who needs love,
I'm not cut out this way,
for a cowards retreat,
or bound fast to the day,
it makes you wonder,
stones, graves, wreaths,
who splits who asunder,
memories of your face,
are not there to please,
the perfume of your gait,
steals away from me.

One Two Three
Some nights I ask why,
other times no,
why stars make me cry,
might as well be Space,
that marks our credit zone,
we're out so late,
you come into my sight,
the wind is black and cold,
then you're gone again,
if kids and dogs are great,
then why go roaming,
stay who you are,
wake up and smile Hey,
make a place call it home,
flame starts with a light,
if you hear me cascade,
shout down a broken phone,
don’t hesitate,
no matter how late,
to strain our hungry bones,
we're only chasing sky,
not to be alone.

One TwoTwo
It's useless to hesitate,
the knife's to the bone,
it always strikes too late,
never safe to heed,
where I've been going,
no one makes me plead,
always leave the way,
I can slay my ghosts,
no matter what their taste,
say sayonara to that scene,
they‘ll leave me alone,
my turn now to bleed,
it leaves me delicate,
a tune with broken tones,
sealed in a shipping crate,
but it’s not my creed,
when you leave home,
you want to succeed,
the moon is llke paper,
it knows what I've done,
the wind on the plates,
fire to understand.
