Fence...

If i could speak these words
as sure as my pain
they'd be on record

if i could sell this
this pain...
if it could be sold at the price of... eternal vigilance...
id haggle without question

and my arm burns again
my mind learns again

and all of you
stare like men of snow
white with confusion
with exhaustion you froze
solid in these illusions

the rings of condensation
ice crafted for the 'pyres
nothing but blood
teeth sink into the mire

indulgence is bliss
ignorance is this
steady is the hand
quick sink is the sand

tailor me a suit
and sit me on the step
craft me inside your bowling ball
and roll till nothings left

the snowflakes are but sheep
individually lacking
conformity is cheap
superiority is slacking
but all i have is this penny
so herd me in
fence-ward bound




~EL

im not sure... ehm... sorry
They filled me full of drink
And led me round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black
And I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whale bone corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
And its into the shame

  • I like the way you deliberately mix metaphors and make them work:
    "The snowflakes are but sheep/ individually lacking".

    This is one of your strongest ones yet, Erin.
