The Point of Know Return

0 posted 2004-08-04 02:15 AM



Rush your mind to the Cinema Show
And dream with me...

the movie will not be shown tonight
due to lack of reality.

sit down

look at the sky
beating this dead ceiling to seven
watch it spin twirling summer nights
around its finger over these rusted ruins
look at the sky
watch it decay and watch it blend
watch the helpless hunter mend
watch it live and watch it die
watch the moon it bleeds and lies
look at the sky

ever wonder why we…?
Who said cry?

look
there’s light in your stars.

the trees are beginning to croon
their soft rhythmatic medley of melody
monstrous they call mooooaning
mmmmmmmmmmmm

still our forest falls.

tidal movement stutters the lake
vapid rapids we didn’t see in you
but saw sawing me in two
see?

you still don’t see.

the roads of life
have bored themselves to death
with their great length

still…the road unwinds in circles
isn’t everything a circle?

I found your words
in dreams I had
about finding your words.

look
these eyes
bloodshot killers
…we haven’t slept for a week

Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember street talk?
Waiting for the sun

i could spend my life here
in this transitive theater of dreams

Look at the sky.
next time
bring an umbrella.

"Do you realize this world is totally fugazi?" --Marillion

You evoke the images that I only try for...

I enjoy reading you very much, the fast clip of certain phrasings assonanced like that is amazing--the arrangement forces the reader to speed up then slow down, and the ability to do that is also a goal for me.

Enjoy your work, muchly.
