Such Wrecks

The comets have such space to cross No rime its rhyme, warm albatross A starlight swim, a cavern’s cost Without eyes Burn the baby’s bounce and bubble An anarchist amongst the rubble Sung tongues of love, a winsome trouble What help am I Stephanie she stung the devil Bit off their nose and laughed and revelled They’re tossing rings, I’m left dishevelled Bled but wry Some populace all prim and proper I’m met by winks from knowing doctors The brothers came, ransacked and conquered Moat is dry There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us Seabirds dive aside the beach Carrion inside their beaks Ice cream cones and worms and seeds Candy floss I pick my teeth and whine and purr Ticks entangled in my fur Midday’s glare, to care, incur Heaven’s loss Sweet Gabrielle, her speech is short No chance to counter or retort Loiter, linger, close the door Angel dust No Father’s blessing on my name No Son of God, nor Daughter came They said inherit holy blame Hang the cross There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us People pray and then deliver Tortured tears then reconsider Sink or float, you’re in the river Mind the shore I was young, carved blunt, unswayed A hellion, a brute, a knave Strung to a bed, I misbehaved Say no more Michael, Michelle, countless names Pitchforks stormed celestial gates An amethyst, a shaken grave Raise the floor Woke up countless times from dreaming Diagnosed a crowded meaning Beliefs mounted and misleading Faith restored I wished for luck, for wrecks as us I came unstuck, rose right from rust They sing my name, I writhe and thrust I bleed for you, I choke on dust Gave up on love, sold out my lust A moonless night, a boom, a bust I wished for us, I twitched, I fussed There’s no such luck, such wrecks as us
