I used to hear them
Through the walls at night
Exchanging currents through modicums
Of pernicious lust when tamed
Would always alter the future
In trance amounts played the ritual
Vacuumed the dents under a primer sky
Where a Lightfield once held the promise
Of closing the sutures
But the ultimatum clots
A tapeworm hymnal
Lost the ghost tape registered
As number 9
It’s going to be a
Long night coming
She said I can never turn it off
Theirs is just a long
Lost grudge
That will never fade away
Caving the symptom of confessional
Painted in licorice forgeries
Had she dawned the seductions
Subdued by the handmaid’s tale
One claimed complacence
While the other knelt
He took the prescript off the parlor doors
Swung open but collaterals had altered
The future
But the ultimatum clots
A tapeworm hymnal
Lost the ghost tape registered
As number 9
It’s going to be a
Long night coming
She said I can never turn it off
Theirs is just a long
Lost grudge
That will never fade away
He’s the rule
You’ve answered too
Locked in the omen
Of momentum
He pleads the fool
Of numbing agents
In the post mortem
When it’s over
You of brittle faith
Have failed
Speechless bereavement
For the last time
Fade away
Trained to fade away
Fade away
Trained to fade away
But they trained you, wire framed you
Stood you upright in position
To administer the want
But they trained you, wire framed you
Stood you upright in position
To administer the night crawls
But the ultimatum clots
A tapeworm hymnal
Lost the ghost tape registered
As number 9
It’s going to be a
Long night coming
She said I can never turn it off
Theirs is just a long
Lost grudge
That will never fade away

● “Star Slight ”
[ Quotable ]
He spits on your tip-toes
(Guided by star slight)
And you keep hugging folklore
(Nowhere is home)

But this is star slight
● “Chanbara ”
[ Quotable ]
Prosthetic, prosthetic, prosthetic blemish
Necro is the Velcro on the charred appendage
Cauterize solder gun in the melting of seeds
Oh, dear god, what a tangled web we weave
● “Rolodex Propaganda ”
[ Quotable ]
Jigsaw pattern dominoes left a trail
The whites of their eyes polaroids of the tale
For our amusement we bring stares to the defendants
Mechanical panaceas absolved by history
Phonetic paralysis inflicted through morality
The seed that it nurtured was a wilted bouquet
Temper temper temperature
