27 January 1999
Red Sea

Take the stark and severed me
So my injuries be found
There was no bruising nor blood
When my fool heart hit the ground.

In the mew
Of frightful fear
I lay my elegance down to rest
Amongst the daisies
That once grew
But which lost hope soon after.

A criminal in waiting
But I know I’ve done my time
The dental records match the me
I was before
And the anger under broken nails
Proves what I did to me.

Impure thoughts enter all  minds
 I make a suggestion to rethink
But I am in no position to
Rewrite specific rules again.

I feed amorously on the midnight hour
In black my bones call to thee
Free me of my worthless flesh
Take me for all I am.

One last charade
The night is over
Demise has only just begun
Slowly I slip to scarlet
Incarnate
My deeds are catching up to me
It’s clear I haven’t won.

Bold and open to all who see
Or anyone with eyes
They choose to see and rectified me
And say to displace my disguise.

Many thoughts and visions spent
Their time in pools of early death
And still after all this time
Some words grab my every breathe.
