Paroles de Lost Avenues

Walking into headlights Calignosity envelopes all figure A crywolf sentiment thrust skyward To be marooned Lost avenues wandering maimed Trees leering obscenely across streetlamps Creaking in the wind That scatters soured leaves of hopelessness A phantom, Waif-like prancing through screeching chariots Stunned rabbit stare, crouching timidly... Bloodless admission, the breathing chasm summons With the voice of whirring wheels ... cavernous eyes... ... porcelain rose Smouldering efflorescence Clouds bring rest to the moon's intrusive glare Dreamt gleaming firelines Tunnels, lights concealed in gloom Fragmented crystalline landscape Draped in garbage and rats Watched by mannequins in store windows In sight are the towers of sleep Confounded by tenuous electrical guides An orchestra of distant machinery Pulsing through pavement drains... I, as the shade Ghost-dancing among swerving carriages I am the night apparition Glowing as vapour in soft lanterns Incandescent spirit roaming... Incandescent spirit roaming... Along lost avenues Wandering maimed.
