    Lost Angeles



    we leave in white
    perverse
    phantom tribes
    river lovers
    jobless actors
    aging models
    shouting anger to anger sky
    brothers to the storm




    while inanimate
    relic friends
    pass under the moon
    still dressed in lanterns
    pleasure
    romance
    fiction children
    strangers to blues


    they still have to learn
    & decorate their sky
    with anger
    reward their errors
    praise death & mirrors
    song & invention
    find the majestic care
    live up to the standard
    of night


    we’ve done our job
    we’re well beyond
    the proven sky
    the proven sidewalk
    the peripheral death bird
    breathing African drums
    swallowing Buddha
    spitting out planets


    nurses to infant steps
    the neon crucifix
    whores & cops
    junk oracle
    Lost Angeles too
    still seasons hope to get us
    walk soothe past
    ignore
