dull sailing down the road my august cold as the embers sunken into acceptance of sympathies unwound trucks trampling hissing spirits weaving between the railtrails i watch the spray twirl up and billow into the grey the middle month candles wept wax that stripped me bare and every shiver waves needle points across my insufficient body but it's fine the weight has been lifted off, but not the pain no curious dog eyes all lost sighs burned up we've walked through the valley and there is no health in us [...all i ask...]

woken by a heave of sand turned, upended in your hand marked with tasteless ashen cross dashed against the zion rocks ivory cut into shape slung with fake magnetic tape dreamed again my counterpart marble arches gleaned from art dreamed again my counterpart [beautiful still are the starry heavens...]
