stained mirror in the doctor's mess
the first light of day the constant death
the steady loss the hopeful suffering
bloodshot eyes greasy hair
gold chain around my neck
a sad excuse
master of the frontlines for the next hour and a half
shadow of a shaman
see everyone's beast
I say your name twice it's a spell
the water in the sink begins to dance
my body loses all its blood
feel its letters on my teeth
travel across and through
how can you be
how
can
you
x
fall asleep on the way
the gravel at the side brings me back
glass, shifting tide
the weakness of the earlier time is gone
four letters, vanished in silence, not to be touched
until I'm flowmaster again.
