To die, to sleep,
to sleep, to dream... what if I fall in love, then what, am I meant
to just sit back and laugh? The clock ticks the time dies the silence
burns then the cows return and all is well. A double happy or two,
slid up the bumper - more than a kaboom but less than a bang easy
happiness, so simple - confusion much less, the death of self-respect
and then no! I can't believe I won't believe this jigsaw piece is
not my own... someone else's puzzle, it even smells different. Roses
not growing, not dying, not seeded nor scented, a lot of life, a big
chunk of apple pie complete with cinnamon aroma - once eaten, turns
bitter in purple stomach, twisted, seething, snaking, dying, slipping
through fingers, the sand drops, so hard to pick up again... and so
it is left to melt on the red planet, left to cry, left to weep for
its own uselessness and dead end... love has gone in search of another
ocean, and that's what they say - life's a beach, and then you die
