under the influence of the planet Saturn
I dance in the shadows of time
I fill the sky with dreams and mine for diamonds
in the ruins of my labyrinthine mind
I tune into a lucid echo, speaking in heartbeats
I come back to the surface, with every metronomic streak
wandering down dark streets
Heaven\'s melody is an ephemeral high
bleeding jewels, red swans, awake pretty much all night
I light the room with words, a candle burning to my left
and I pour myself a cooling drink of black liquid
lovesick, unkempt in my decadence
I\'ve never known anything else, just this occupied gloom
and filled the spaces between with lamps
a hungry mouth held together with a pin, filled with abbreviations
and the hope that the fading sky remembers
you can\'t force a wasp to do your work and keep your secrets
in a tomb with letters and deers and oobleck
the distilled quietness vanishes when a broken angel sings
that sweet music flows through my veins.
