FRACTURED EMPTYNESS FRACTURED BY STEEL, CONCRETE, AND BARBED-WIRED LIVES AND UNDER THE GEODESIC DOMES THE ROSE GLOW OF THE DAWN EXPLODES INTO CORPROATE OBELISKS THAT PIERCE THE SKY THE ROT AND RANDOMNESS THAT HOLDS THE LIE DEBRIS AND LIVES SCATTERED LIKE LEAVES IN THE WIND AND SHATTERED UPON THE ROCKS OF DESPAIR. . .OF DESPAIR HERE. . . IN THE SPRAWL SOMEWHERE . . . IN THE SPRAWL HE HEEDS THE SWIRL OF MALIGNANT HAZE THAT OBSCURES THE SHADOWS BUT THE FEAR REMAINS SHE HEARS THE LAUGH OF A CHILD OF NIGHT SPINE ATINGLE, TRIES TO HIDE FROM SIGHT DEATH BECKONS FORTH . . . NO WHERE TO RUN WHAT ARE THR ROOTS THAT CLUTCH OUR HEARTS? WHAT IS THE FEAR THAT HAUNTS OUR LIVES? NO ANSWER BUT TO RETURN TO THE SOURCE TO FACE THE DARK SHADOWS THAT FORMED FROM OUR PAST COURSE . . . OUR PAST COURSE HERE . . .IN THE SPRAWL SOMEWHERE . . . IN THE SPRAWL THE SMALL HAND OF A CHILD REACHES FOR LOVE INNOCENCE ABOUNDS . . . BRIGHT EYES AGLOW BUT THE EYE OF COMPASSION TEARS WITH LOSS AS THE EYE OF MALICE SIGHTS THROUGH A RIFLE’S CROSS AND THE FUTURE BRINGS FORTH THE PAIN FROM WITHIN AS A HEAD EXPLODES FROM AN UNKNOWN GUN IN AN UTTER ACT OF BLINDING RAGE AND THE CRY OF THIS LOST CHILD , IN EARLY DEATH ECHOES ON . . . AND ON . . . AND ON SOMEWHERE . . . IN THE SPRAWL HERE . . . IN THE SPRAWL

FROM ONE’S RELATIVE POSITION IT’S EASIER TO SEE THE FORE THAN TO PUSH ASIDE THE SHADOWS AND LOOK BEYOND THE DOOR AND I ENDEAVOR TO BE HONEST THAN TO HOLD UP THE THIN FACADE THAT CRUMBLES THROUGH INACTION THOUGHTS SWIRL IN TIME AND HERE I STAND AWAITING AN ANSWER HAVE I LOST THIS TIME AGAIN? SOMETIMES WHEN I LOOK INTO THE EYES OF ANOTHER A SHADOW FALLS ACROSS MY MIND AND MY HEART STARTS TO FLUTTER WILL THESE DOUBTS CLAW AT MY STRENGTHS A FALSE FOUNDATION LAID THROUGH LACK OF SINCERETY WILL THE CLASP NOT BE MADE LEAVES SWIRL IN TIME AND HERE I STAND AWAITING AN ANSWER HOPING YOU’LL REPLY AGAIN I KNOW WHERE I STAND I KNOW WHAT I STAND FOR THEN & NOW NOW THAT I’M OLDER I CAN SEE WHERE THIS CAN LEAD THE STRENGTHS INSIDE ARE ALWAYS THE KEY AND THROUGH NEGLECT OF THESE THE FEAR WILL ARISE LEAVING YOU OPEN TO THE EMOTIONAL TIDE LEAVES SWIRL IN TIME AND HERE I STAND AWAITING AN ANSWER HAVE I LOST THIS TIME AGAIN? I KNOW WHERE I STAND I KNOW WHAT I STAND FOR

“HEARING YOUR SIGH BRINGS ME BACK AGAIN“ “THE WAY YOU FEEL ME FEEL YOU SETS UP A WAVE” WITH HER CRIES OF PLEASURE, NAILS TO MY BACK I HAD SET IN MOTION NO TURNING BACK A MOMENT OF QUIET PEACEFULLY SOFT CANDLES FLICKERING ONTHE WALLS OF MY MIND REVEAL THE REAL IN THE DANCE OF SHADOWS OF THESE DISCONCERTING THOUGHTS OF HONESTY REMEMBERING YOU WITH DESIRE IN YOU R EYES THE FEAR THE HOPE AND THE MYSTERY TIME OF ILLUSION TIME TO DREAM TIME . . . TO SUSPEND THE REAL “WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME THIS WAY?” “YOU TOUCH ME AND HOLD THEN PULL AWAY” I’M NOT ALWAYS SURE OF MY ACTIONS OR THE HIDDEN SOURCE OF MY PASSIONS BUT I REALIZED WITH FRIGHT WHAT SHE MEANT CONFUSION IN HER THOUGHTS BY THE MESSAGES I SENT BUT NO PHRASES AROSE NO WORDS TO SAY TO DISPEL THESE THOUGHTS OF DISHONESTY REMEMBERING YOU WITH TEARS IN YOUR EYES THE CRYING THE PAIN AND THE MYSTERY TIME OF SADNESS TIME FOR AMENDS TIME . . . TO RESTORE THE REAL “YOUR SILENCE IS DRIVING ME MAD” “IT’S HOPELESS . . . YOU’VE FRACTURED MY HEART” SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT HER WORDS DO TO ME “SEEMLING THE HONEST” - SEEMINGLY - THE WORD THE KEY THE REASSURANCE AND COMFORT OF MEMORY ENGRAINED OF THE WAY SHE SAYS “HI” AND OF HER LAUGH AND THE MOMENT SHE CRIED AS WITH THAT NIGHT SHE SAID ‘YES” REMEMBERING YOU WITH TEARS IN YOUR EYES THE HAPPINESS JOY AND THE MYSTERY I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ALWAYS LOVE YOU ALWAYS MY LOVE

ANTENNA SHADOWS ON THEIR HOMES CATCH THE BARE LIGHT LIKE A FOREST IN WINTER AND THE CRIES AND SHOUTS AND LAUGHTER RING OF THE MURMUR OF HUMANITY AND THE SILENCE OF THE SKY he comes home late and tired nerves all shot and patience fried seeking solace from the discord just a number in the faceless horde feeling the pull of destiny . . . the screen calls like memory running backward in sand he’s too far gone to understand viscera torrid searing turns swirl and throb and ebb and flow drowning trapped under destiny . . . the screen calss VOYEUR TOUCH INITIATE ENGAGE AND SWITCHED BY REMOTE “grope and thrill” eases his blood visions of beauty and the stud “murder and mayhem” does the rest reality released for his best in a jacked-up tuned-out destiny . . . the screens calls (chorus) body numb and eyes just staring at the screen the sound just blaring humble refuge now his prison his clouded mind full of poison dragged along by destiny . . . the screen calls

YOUNG CHILD BURDENED BY ALL THAT OFFENDS DIVORCED FROM ALL BY BLOOD AND VICE WIZENED EYES IN A MISUSED FACE I COVER MY EARS . . . COVER MY EYES A SHADOW FLOATING OVERHEAD SCREAMS IT’S CRY A SACRIFICE LIKE FOOD FOR FRENZIED RATS IN A MAZE HIS HUMANITY LEFT SHREDDED IN THE HAZE IMPOVERISHED BY BIRTH, LIVING CAGED I FEAR HIS COLD BLOODED RAGE I COVER MY EARS . . . COVER MY EYES CONFUSED BY A FIXATION WITH MORTALITY BY THE LEVELING WAVES OF HUMANITY IN THIS CITY OF FIRE AND SMOKE HE FACES HIS END WITH NON PRAYERS TO INVOKE I COVER MY EARS . . . COVER MY EYES A SHADOW FLOATING OVERHEAD SCREAMS IT’S CRY A SACRIFICE IN DEATH

WIND BLOWS THROUGH THE CRACKS IN THE SHELL DEBRIS AND LIVES LITTERED ACROSS THE SAND PAIN IN MY BODY, AND IN MY HEART AS TWIN SUNS BURN INTO MY EYES THIS WAS TO BE THE FINAL JOURNEY THE LAST VOYAGE TOWARDS MY HOME ACROSS THE DEPTHS TIME AND SPACE THE LAST SOJOURN OUT AMONG THE STARS DEJECTION IN DISBELIEF AND SORROW IN SOLILQUAY AND ONLY MEMORIES OF AN EARTH LOST TO ME REFLECTIONS - I MUST SURVIVE REFLECTIONS MIRED IN A DESERT OF ABSTRACTION RAWNESS - OF A FLUID RUN DRY THE HEAT OF EMOTION CAN DESTROY A MIND THE HORIZON REFLECTS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND I UNREACHABLE - BUT SEEN TO THE NAKED EYE AT NIGHT I GAZE UPWARDS IN AND AWE AND WONDER DO YOU SEE THE SAME POINT AS I? DEJECTION IN DISBELIEF SORROW IN SOLILQUAY AND ONLY MEMORIES OF AN EARTH LOST TO ME

ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME PERHAPS EASIER TO DECIDE BUT I FEEL IT’S WAY TOO LATE TO TEMPT FATE THE DECISIONS MADE NO ALLOWANCE FOR CHANGE AND IT’S BASED UPON A FALLACY THE BELIEF THAT I CAN’T SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR CONVICTION AND MY INTEGRITY THE DREAM SUBLIME IS WASTED TIME IF FAITH DENIED IT’S YOUR’S - IT’S NOT MINE RIGHT OR WRONG RESOLVE OR BE ENDURED SEIZE THE DAY TO ACCEPT OR BE THE CYNIC’S SAGE CAN YOU CHOOSE? RESOLUTE NOTHING’S ABSOLUTE SOME PEOPLE ALWAYS SEEM TO STAND IN ONE PLACE ALWAYS HESITATE NEVER MOVING FURTHER SOME CHANCES YOU JUST HAVE TO TAKE PASS’EM UP AND LOSE WHAT’S LAID UPON YOUR TABLE KEEP IN MIND THE REASONS WHY YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE PAIN AND AN EASY MIND TAKE THE CHANCE MOVE IT! OR STEP ASIDE LEAVE IT OR LIVE THE LIE
