    water spouts river
    runs and freezes on the street
    paralyzed city
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    he emerges from the murk

    the front door closes
    and I look out the window
    to see pines covered in fog
    your moment cooled




    I saw a blanket
    on a newspaper page
    filled, bloodied, gurnied
    had you known

    muddy water
    trapped

    never forever
    rise and sink
    in printed reflections

    paused on two currents
    an undecided leaf

    mooving clouds
    their shadows on the ground
    suspend my daydream

    the clouds succumb
    to a coruscating sun
    my retina hide
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
