out of business in the brain of the sweating city
the pyramids torn down
the helicopter overhead
the pink heart
dancing
we are not the dead
soon to be ruins denounced by mortality
believe in the ruins
the rosy sunset the hole in the ocean
schubert rotting and dead
neptune spinning magma
carved in turquoise
scratched in the wall
ideologies toothless men
in labyrinth apocrypha
angels sent to tear the head
Enoch Job
Michael Philip Gallagher
names to be eaten by stone denounced
eyes
cathedral lit with cold glare light
gardens in shadow luminescent
the tips of the trees as fire
glorious enthralling night arouses a flicker of interest
there's a bankroll of thunder thorny trees thunder
a flicker of interest
leap
from office windows the market falls
as phosphor in the evening sky
a litany recite the names of your favourite bands
ancient designs carved in the sand
secret city
spinning under streetlights reddened
bones of birds
spiders twisting
metal spheres dominate the burning sky
the century was a lobotomy
this is nostalgia the first gig you went to
the jukebox louder the past better
in the breath of the sweating city
in the slowing ENERGY become legend
rain baby is jaguar
