Walking into headlights
 Calignosity envelopes all figure
 A crywolf sentiment thrust skyward
 To be marooned

 Lost avenues wandering maimed
 Trees leering obscenely across streetlamps
 Creaking in the wind
 That scatters soured leaves of hopelessness

 A phantom,
 Waif-like prancing through screeching chariots
 Stunned rabbit stare, crouching timidly...

 Bloodless admission, the breathing chasm summons
 With the voice of whirring wheels

 ...cavernous eyes...
 ...porcelain rose
 Smouldering efflorescence


 Dreamt gleaming firelines
 Tunnels, lights concealed in gloom

 Fragmented crystalline landscape
 Draped in garbage and rats
 Watched by mannequins in store windows

 In sight are the towers of sleep
 Confounded by tenuous electrical guides
 An orchestra of distant machinery
 Pulsing through pavement drains...

 I, as the shade
 Ghost-dancing among swerving carriages

 I am the night apparition
 Glowing as vapour in soft lanterns
 Incandescent spirit roaming...
 Incandescent spirit roaming...

 Along lost avenues
 Wandering maimed.
