written on the invisible silences
stretching sky deep beyond your sight
thrown in the mouldering trash heap
by infantile jealous fingers
and forgotten as absurdity
while the bugs crawled out breathing tiny screams
and the livingston seagull
unchained flew with my sound in it's mouth
over the obscure wave lengths
above radio antennae
broadcasting the laments of the lonely
gathering them up for the angels to note
the earless tone deaf popstars
and heartless pedophiles
shattering their own daughters in the wide swath
of erection's wake
of childhood drowning
in the name of machismo's trophy
those hours on the grange
sands of former glass castles
sifting into endless blasted Texas
no one looked to you for anything
your native inner hero closed his eyes
finally slaughtered and shamed
into dive bar blues covers and
the drunkeness of your progenitors
one dark fiery mid nacht while the writer
gasped under the weight of unspoken words
a nightblind driver made the journey
carrying the medicine of the blessed dead watchers
quite possibly saving the children
from a motherless existence for a time
and changing the entire world's existence
in the name of his love
