Bought some magick last night
as the moon jumped over the cow
laughing at the venomless scar
Scorpion left in my arm
See, I'm a good friend of Fox
and treachery revealed
makes for easy navigation
even in stormy seas

Thought and Memory met me on the road this morning
as I swept silver in my wake
racing starlings
and twisting wheels
can you breathe me?
the thought giggles electric
sparking
laughing static
shocking me
as I shop for apples
and strawberries

A man becomes an institution
in the latter half of life
I've built myself from the stones
the Chinese left as winding walls
through the pastures
trellised myself 
in wild grape vines
rooted my foundation in oak
wiresteel frame
89 octane
windpowered hybrid
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

chose they chanted
too early
blurring the box
for the lines of desire
should be sweeping curves
and cascading ringlets
in my paradise
every eye virgin
awaiting the bursting breaking taking
as wonder makes love to the soul

It's a hard life for the lover
but an easy one for the soldier
or the fool who sees no difference
betwix the two

I think they wonder why I don't care
not knowing that I care beyond caring
and so flinch at nothing
and let the lightning strike through me
when my feet touch the ground

Can you hear that sound?
The ego beats a damn good warchant
when the sky is falling
and the screams have become too loud for thought
cultivate the thousand yard stare
bring it out for parties
the melody doesn't matter none
as long as the rhythm moves you
in the right direction
&
8 ohms is all the power you need
when sailing by starlings
in the wake 
of a fading wound
