Video my long standing sides
The prides
In as I’m on the box with smiles
Video my day and turn the mirror around
Video the head heap .. now listen to the sound
“Walking down the staircase
1950’s glasses glint in terror and lace
The bodies are piled high
The garden has overflowed
The killing, many years past, shown”.
Video my daydreams
Play it all through the night
“ .. rain cascaded in torrents
The roads are almost blocked
Sheets of water crashing down”.
The lonely motel where no one goes
His mother is reincarnate in his body
His hands grip the blade of a knife
The gaunt house upon the hill
Amplifies that all is ill
For a mother couldn’t
Couldn’t really kill!
Change the video wash out the black and white
Cream the screen, splash the colour in….
“flitting back over the throttled throats
The disgraced policeman played the gas joke
Many women became famous victims
And timothy hung in the air for the crows.
Video the backdrop
Lance the casting
Prepare the next few hours of….
“like the taut guitar string
That’s ready to snap, real things
Go bump in the night
So, shit, where’s the damn light?
You draw the stake up over your head
Ready to plunge into the coldest heart,
To seal the fate of the undead
To destroy his every part.”
“ … for a damsel so sweet so fair
What would she want of me
A creature with lop sided frame
A curled face
Deaf through living with the bells
A ghost of the monsters that live in hell
I should perish here as the fires lap
The famed hunchback shall welcome the trap”.
