Death Comes To Talk To Me
He licks his fingers
And turns the page;
His eyebrows twitch,
They twist in rage
He slams the newspaper -
Smashes it to the floor;
He stands up madly
And runs for the door!
He yanks on his boots -
Hat and staff equipped,
He emerges smelling of Death
Ascending from the crypt
He makes his way to me
His beard a twisted flame
Of golden and red braids;
Like a wizard from a game
He licks his lips,
He thinks some more,
Then starts speaking,
Recalling all the gore,
" The car will be a Chevy,
It will hit you from behind,
It will kill you on impact
And leave the passenger blind,
Noon-day tomorrow,
Tomorrow's newspaper said,
Be
You smell like ancient
Something I remember
Feelings not so tempered
Something very old
Something brutal and cold
In my December
Not left to reason
My feelings betray
Internal treason
A very white day
Machinistic slay
I- there is no such thing
Blue- hues pass by this train
Fire
Fire
You- Was there such a thing
Red- singing; so much pain
Fire
I need
Fire
Not left to reason
My feelings betray
Internal treason
A very white day
Something brutal and chilled
Something robs my will.
I am currently head publicist for a new community, Aotearoa.
This community celebrates our beautiful country, New Zealand. I'd be glad if you went along and checked it out. It would be great if you joined, but no pressure! Just have a look around - there isn't much to look at yet, but hopefully there will be soon.
