    Bilquis settles in
    Absorbing lovers and sin
    Worship borne again
    "Who was that guy?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "Seriously, man, don't be an asshole, who was he really?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "No shit? What'd he want?"
    "My apple pie and a cigarette."

    why the lightning's snide
    those insulting we deride
    petal's wilted tide
    "Who was that guy?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "Seriously, man, don't be an asshole, who was he really?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "No shit? What'd he want?"

    asphalt pave'd snaps
    with winter's footstep's echo
    and tectonic shift
    "Who was that guy?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "Seriously, man, don't be an asshole, who was he really?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "No shit? What'd he want?"

    green the weed is thorned
    grasped and held, bloodied fingers
    stroke still the blossom

    Weed on a lamppost
    did the doggie, is the grass
    Such a word is 'weed'

    ice strewn branches sway
    naked on the pond I may
    drowning darkened stay
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

    Starflock dawn cipher
    book of the dead
    hieroglyph death birds

    oh, love, what life now
    to die so beautifully
    in a flock of songs.

    I messed that up. I meant:

    Starflock dawn ciphers
    shadow the book of the dead
    hieroglyph death birds

    oh, love, what life now
    to die so beautifully
    in a flock of songs.

    tortured chiseled stone,
    images of lives undone,
    iron wrought, sung low

    these notes upon wind,
    philosophy carries in
    magenta dream, pumice sin,
    sudden gait, lost kin;

    cracked, eroded cape
    storms tempestuous with taste
    worn out minds in haste...

    tortured chiseled stone
    bas-relief carved out alone:
    iron wrought, sung low.
    "Who was that guy?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "Seriously, man, don't be an asshole, who was he really?"
    "Jesus Christ."
    "No shit? What'd he want?"
    "My apple pie and a cigarette."
