All loosely bound in bundles


Shortly after I died
My sister discovered poems
It sounded as if the streets were running
As sense was breaking through
Decades of arrogance between
A night ago or two

In houses unperceived
Not audible as ours to us
To counteract a knock 
we must keep apart, You there, I here
In this brief tragedy of flesh
While sunrise grows so near
The coffin's lacquer black
But the lining's silk silver
[J'ai deux amours]


On the back of his head
He had another face
Was it a woman's face
or a young girl?
They said to remove it would kill him
So poor Edward was doomed
The face could laugh and cry
It was his devil twin
And at night she spoke to him
of things heard only in hell
They were impossible to separate,
chained together for life.
Finally the bell tolled his doom:
He took a suite of rooms
And hung himself and her
From the balcony irons.
Some still believe he was freed from her...
But I knew her too well.
I'd say she drove him to suicide
and took poor edward to hell.

Homesick Silhouette


Finally I don't mind
Worthless tries at finding something else
Best not talk too loud
You're not as smart as you require of them
Your body breaks
Your needs consume you forever
and with these lies the need to be here together

Funny thing with blood
You try to stand but neither leg's awake
Just this side of love
Is where you'll find the confidence not to continue
Your body breaks
your needs consume you forever
And with these lies the need to be here together.

O "Show dos Ursos" era lindo.

Herzegovino, attorney, escena d'estim, escena de mort.


My lips were wet, my throat was cold,
My garments all were dank;
Sure I had drunken in my dreams,
And still my body drank.

I moved, and could not feel my limbs:
I was so light - almost
I thought that I had died in sleep,
And was a blessed ghost

And soon I heard a roaring wind:
It did not come anear;
But with its sound it shook the sails,
That were so thin and sere.

* [from "The rime of the ancient Mariner]

Though I could've written those words
If only I had taken the time.
Having not written them words
I come here and make Coleridge's mine.
