Black Moth Super Rainbow – Lake Feet
We’ve all got skeletons,
skin deep down.
When we get cut they try and climb out.
So we curse and shout some
skin deep noun.
Send those fuckers home in pale green gowns.
We
make them hurt.
We
drown em in
ethanol.
–
Sewn into the scars in our bodies. Hide our bodies inside clothes. Close those jackets, never to be opened or exposed.
Because
We’ve got a fear of being open and exposed.
Of
taking off our clothes.
Of
the stories of our scars.
Of
all these bones of ours.
–
What a world this would be if we had no skin.
No muscles or nerves,
nothing to hide in.

The Walkmen - On the Water
The dragons head for air,
and the part timers follow suit.
Flash clubs, three in a row, dig
graves
with
spades.
I can't explain how I feel.
Sea lions comfort me.
It does a thing.
Still though, I'm breathing flames.
I make calm to my limbs.
Simmer some.
Let's do this tango.
Throwing in
some calculated grin.
And yes,
restless dreams come in episodes,
but everyone dies when the sun explodes.
Sky goes dark, and,
I can only see when I breathe.
Sea?
Out.
Light.
Out.
Light.
Out.
Light.
Headed in the wrong direction.
Not again,
Magdalene.
You lost the light of the stars.
Shut out by fire.
And I cannot explain how I feel.
And Sea lions comfort me.
