A little death
April 30, 2008 – 11:21 pm1.
Whenever I turn over a white napkin
I see the death of my mother
She is alive and well in Xanadu, Persia
And you are my princess forever to be
Whenever I am kicking off bedsheets
I can again see the future
With my left hand on the wheel
And the rain and wind beating on my coat
Whenever I step on a crawling thing
I am the bastard that locked his daughter
In the basement for twenty four years
Made tea every morning and never missed the Times
2.
If you are alone one day
Turn over a white napkin
And speak to your mother about death
Because already and always she wants the wrong things from you
And shall shield and be yours with whiteness
And cool can enter the rivers of sweat in your skin
And you can speak into the pillow so they can’t hear
And you can find little deaths in the corners of the things you bought
If you are alone one day
Kick off your bedsheets
They are too white to wrap around your old body
Too wretched the sweat in the rivers in the folds of your skin
And you’ll find her
And she will see you as the boy she has always seen you as
And you will stand in the shadow of the boy she has seen you as
And cower in corners and curl and ramble like epilepsy
If you are alone one day
Step on a crawling thing
A little death will be there with you
And you will talk to her but you can’t touch her
And she will see you as the Knight
And wait for you as the apartment shatters
And hold on to what is left of the sheets
And find a little death in a teacup

To feel the weather change as you go
From where you were to where you need to be.

Green ring, silver with
dark rust spots,
smells of cigarettes
and fragrance. She floats
in a cloud and I.
There are certain things
that shouldn’t be said.
I wish that you
would stop lying. Dear,
these sheets are lined
with GOD. Wishing for
a shorter tomorrow
I wish I could live
In the night. I’ll
find it again, a pale
blue sky. Come and
touch me Demon.
Demon god of the
universe. Her under
wear looked clearly
above. A sky of
diamonds. Betray me,
Demon God. I’ll come
back. I’ll come back
tomorrow. Speak
not of the future. Speak
not speak not. They
need to think the they
are high on the stage
and in the act and
the everything will
be funny. And you will find
find me. You will
find me. And I
will jump above many
a wall. Dark eggs you
fuck. I will do it.
I will kill him. I will.
Don’t leave me alone
in the stove. Don’t
leave me alone in the
stove. Democracy,
a multi headed dragon
one said - this time
has already passed and
this place this place
will shine in hell
s bell. Not too many
like us. So don’t feel
Challenged. Not too
many like us at
this moment. Come

Demon god of understand
ding. Come to, come to

to me. There goes
the sound, round
and round. I’ve
run out of ground
and of speak of
this and that

child. Give this
to me give it.
Don’t let me stop.
Right now fuck her

to me. You give
it. Wrong. I will
find a way. A
way in many way
to live the metal
life. Fucking dead
strong. Fucking.
As. Dude you’ve got
to be crazy because

long. Growing up on
fear. Let me stop
this water. Stop
this stone. Stop
