The vines bend like clever minds,
Against the break of summertime and inside
The winds beat unholy hymns as the cars thunder by,
Reading a book once considered cruel, you know now
It was really innocent.  You type at the keyboard naked.
Hopeless with your thoughts this cold sunny day with the ice-chill
Of the devil wind as you call up your fear again.
Sticky with blue, they crawl about you.
And in your head the song that might not let you dream again.

You are maskless and without face,
You are timeless under the pounding of saws and axes on the wall,
Of construction time which takes forever,
You breathe of the past,
The colors of the waiting time,
All fuzzed.
It is hard to form another idea unless they come.

They are fire red eyed hope to find you with their sharp hands,
Many hands and many hearts bleeding,
The shadow is a friend for there they do not see you.
You burn your books because you are cold.
And with this your heart goes dead.
It spins and the world closes.
So much to drown a person, so much to drown.

You take the bag of letters and wrap them up in a bag,
And cast them into the smiling seas with their grabbing charms,
You take your childhood out for a swim,
In your suit of Spanish blue and your dead heart of irony,
You follow it to the bottom of the dankest reef and twirl your hair
Into a piece of heavy pink coral so nice,
So pink and so delicate like a sweet child, a perfect baby,
An infant who kills you.
