Life in
unbridled
collapse, Let tuneful praise ascend
Not a single line
out of step with my band, aboard
the riverboat
when the sun
shown red
and especially dark upon my room
I was shown
to 3464
once Jack Lon
dons
I was told.
The black forest alcohols
filled my mind, my one & only skull
with rock crystal
(The Butchers Field)
Its grass &
the stream
cut my rooms in 3. I write & I laugh
to think again upon the stream,
its demon
black mask
lights under-
neath
My servants stay fine
&
lower their eyes
I proclaim the empire, my coat of arms
& cigarettes
to be held across
façades of cathedrals, crimson the flight.
More than one death
from a square
bottled ink
The MARVEL brand
I enjoy reading signs
through the fog —
-HOTEL HUNTINGTON-
Then that evening
and all of
Fox Plaza was the same white
A permanent
stripe
on my blue bike
I raise my hood
I think there are other lost men
in surrounding blocks
alike in their thinking
“There is
no other man
to enjoy
such fog
besides me.” to wander tracks
in clear
star cut
ground
I am sorry I said
he was
already high
We got so high together
and I forgot to say
I had invested a lot
in my first
walkthrough
the greatest
Marco
Polo
single file
best roulette
There’ s a bad moon
on the rise and I’ ve got
quite a stash
rubbings from the calligram
graves,
I have explained their
hollows and brick
a cross where it is written in
script
YOUNG BLOOD STRAIGHT EDGE
Impossibly accurate the fifth wristwatch
diamond
on the 12
I have reached the cave it has been
shot up.
& I am punished to this day
ruby under
black
letterpress
My name goes first.
