Jagged thorns around the neck
Suffocating river, drying out muddy Mississippi

silver thorns around my neck
Pieces of the muddy bosom bloody
Mississippi in my eyes,
My Bloodlines lie in the muddy waters
I’m choking on the tide.
Dark silver moon wings cling to my chest
Cling to my neck
And won’t let the river flow out of my lips
That muddy mess of life
It lies stagnant in my belly,
It lies in my heart,
Crying out like Pocahontas
When her mother died
In spirit, and her own heart violently reborn(Rebecca)
But my sunshine dust, my crying stream,
My dear space Moon-Milk Eyes Dream,
Is being taken from me,
So close but a million miles away
And though
my mirror mask shows smiles
Behind it,
Is a million thorns slowly choking my muddy river into death.
