To Stephanie (And your angel-bone locket)

[Luzifer]

when I cast shadows into space

will they come back in the visage of your face

or just in the fleeting dreams of my tomorrow

or maybe just a shade of my desire

growing quickly across a wire

filled with a void of sweetly smiling sorrow

.

I could never say your name

Nor could I cast you blame

When I write it onto angel’s wing

I was given no dreams

But now I have one it seems

I just want to wrap you all up in string

That will tangle you with silk

And here is your saucer of milk

I will keep it till it spoils without you

And I can toss my dimes out

Across this electric spider’s house

And write oceans in the verge of the true

Passing notes in the school room

I watch the pieces of you zoom

Around my ears through my mouth

And when I catch them I will make

A collage for solitary sake

And keep my thoughts from heading south

Into a jungle where I don’t want them to go

As I fill your house with snow

All glowing and silver and gray

While I am watching this rose bloom

Like a wedding perfume

As you walk in, in order to say

That we have nothing to build

As our separate rooms are filled

With a water that tastes just like wine

And I’ll walk you through a city

Where songs that are free

From lips cascade into us and are mine

And we’ll be happy as we sigh

Old in heart without an eye

To see the darkness that would drown

Anybody who would care enough to see

But it will not hurt we

Who do not swim in the sound

Scraping from a piano

Filled with fire yes I know

Its in your heart and in the soul

Of the man who died

Crying lonely in the sky

But we will be safe in our hole

Don’t tell me whether you hear

I know you have cotton-filled ears

But its okay I don’t want to be heard

I am only breaking the jar

Because I already wrecked my car

I am only speaking in freezing words

That the angel who stepped on a landmine

Would have done well to find

Now he’s got no legs but a bruise

Too bad he holds the torch

To the world outside my porch

And illuminates the paths I can use

To guide me over the sea

Where you dwell ‘neath the trees

That tremble with their love for you

As you halo shines above

The dress I bought you like a dove

Beckoning the reticent me to do

All the things I know I should

To break down this wall of iron wood

Which screams as I hew and I shreak

Wailing like a banshee released

From the master who held its leash

I hope I don’t come off a freak

Oh well if I am abused

The wounds can be tended and fused

With gossamer cloth that you keep

Deep in your angel-bone pocket

On your breast in you silver locket

Where I will lay my tired head down to weep

As the moon dances around

Like a gem on the ground

Which I will pocket along with you pen

Which you gave to me over a rampart

Which will keep us greatly apart

Until I can return it to your hand again.
