Every seven years. Feverish with fear. Thumbing through the pages and tearing out an excerpt. Smiling through the makeup, hollow rings the present dogma.
Fragile in a word. Chamomile tears. They’re chomping at the bit and he crumples at the thought of it. Smiling through distortion, hollow rings a friend’s suggestion
This whole heart is hardened. Arms tied and hard wired.
The child offers his hand in love and is subsequently rendered permanently ill. Doused in emotion and pummeled to sleep, it’s the first time he’s felt right in weeks. Dripping in concrete, accepting defeat. Naive to think one could outsmart the street. (A bad man conquered by the trembling hand). The answer is found in a box in Rome, your presence is requested at the foot of a throne.
Then God came down in particulate form, as fetid black smoke filled the home that we love. Putting on a show for the next couple weeks. Cautious relief in the form of a drink. Opening night leaves a scar on your arm and no sooner than the curtain drops you sprint to the bar.
(That pungent lacquer running down his chin) Straightening his tie he steps back in line, crosses his arms and endeavors to try.
