commit lines to memory and sing them for present company –
accepted –
lines, yeah we’ve drawn lines

now look away now look close
time, turn, tide look close now a star –
wonderful visions they had for you,

two for the blood money
three for the fingers
four for the cancer that lingers –
one for the body
one for the crying singers –
lying the fucking truth –
i open my mouth, i scream out loud, i scream and shout –
so was this before? or was this after?
a quotation taken from some future memory –
in the past - can we catch it?
and we’ll waste everything,
and burn it all up and give until gone and fly and fall,
and fly and fall the end of a song:
