Composed of Satanists
The string that bound the sun to the horizon had grown
as sure as I know that the sun outside only about to get
into the low gray arches of the hut and the endless hours.
I look down on my hands and see my story. A hotel on the south
compartment with everything she thought she could do without:
at least ten more years stuck in the back of my mouth.
It didn't matter how slim the chance might be. It couldn't be
something more than this party business. I think of how
the people came in brighter and more eccentric colors than
evil whiteys running around. Give me a fucking break. Spoke to
opposite ends of the sky for so long that it was impossible for
the average recovery from the low point through the end of the
budded end of a dogwood twig tapping delicately against
things like fires, wars, murders and love affairs.
I can't correct it though. It wreaks too much of shit.
