  Earth lyre feeds on my cock

  

  born in solitude, progress
  young arms
  passing place
  flame past
  sunk menagerie
  morn blood
  solidity
  rich life falls
  swing’s the holy duty
  spiral cups on air
  rolling hypocrites

  couples
  the trumpet devil
  Earth lyre
  vases, noble trombones
  lost sun
  sluggish city
  revolt
  feeds on my cock

  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 [...]
