Hollows

Racked dawn
A flayed sun flecks the wall with hypodermic tears
Beyond the window's gullet one could almost hear
A slithering laughter splitting through
This sweat of mangled sky
Each garbled atom ossified
Each raw smile chiselled from decay
And our tomorrow yesterday
When even as we knew it knowledge died
With all our world sloughed out
And slit
And tied
And our tomorrow yesterday
With all our world sloughed out
And slit
And stacked beneath the dark
And dragged away

But the cold collected crowds still scuttle up
And down the day
Drinking from a rancid cup
Of daydreams laced with loneliness and lies
And promises that no one cared to keep
And brackish songs of age
And how time flies

There's no one there to light a cleaner lamp
Or pull the played scars off these rotting hands
To push away the retching waves of damp
Breaking on the shingle of this skin
The thin
Outdated stars collapse
A crass familiarity screams in
To every corner of the room
With me left clotting in this boundary's bruise
And torn to tremors
And torn to tremors
And torn to tremors
Every heartbeat bled
The sharpened silence stabbing down my head
The sharpened silence stabbing down my head
And howling
Howling through the furthest, furthest red
I nurture nooses
Coil clichés in blue

Each breath bent back with echoes better left unsaid
Each breath bent back with echoes better left unsaid

And last
As I snatch up wretched shards of nothing
Choking on the bitter
Acrid taste
With ravaged words
And throttled teeth
And coughing
I know that everything has gone
And gone
And gone
And gone to waste
And gone
And gone
And gone
And gone to waste
And gone
And gone
And gone
And gone to waste
