i have to say i have to see the twilight moonlit the houses on hills all appear so blind at night the webs that bind them to the skies are golden, sparkling with blood and dust the angelic motes on beams of blood dance at night the trees turn under the rain pan lies dead from rut to rot i saw the lighthouses all fall small angels hold parasols and point to other skies the clacking on the fence is long and loud the noise of the fingers crack in my head behind my eyes between the bloodwalls that line the streets and the skulls forever the bonewhite temple letters piling up unanswered stars yawning together you may have this gift from me and i will send you nothing from what i see (and i see all) the green is going black peter arises with his sack chock full of tricks (and none of them eternal) black peter arises with his bag of blood (and none of this runs eternal) black peter arises and he smiles white teeth cap over the blackened stumps all the kings of all particular times have passed away and lie in gutters pretty as pink i thought that i had seen some bright new dawn the children all laid down and smiled the fires no longer smold and dullied i watched the trash that covered this world swimming in farces in mud and in blood without a care in the world the corpses are piled up almost to heaven chuckling or smiling and rubbing their hands without a care in the world and so we all lie dozing under the sun images of banality flick past our eyes as we bask in this paradise littered around us books of religion covering my feet and i haven't the time for a word but still i see cottages covered in honeysuckle the dovecots so full of the Birds in their thousands the cats lap at cream in their ********* dream and they haven't a care in the world and then it shines we're all dust i drop the compasss and point out the pole and then it shines we're all dust so wait for me at niemandswasser as i watch the flowers bloom and trail the horseflies as they scream the songs we'll never know: it shines: that we're all dust it shines: we're all dust we're all dust
