sirens in the sky
shouldn't be riding on angel's wings, floating
with sea treasures stolen from the dragon king
whose loss has caused deep animosity, the tides
rise to swallow sirens bemused with heavenly voice
turning hearts into water - following the depressions,
caves, gravity does her work. no longer chained at sea,
now they play a game behind a silver lining, then the rainbow
nothing. clouds form shapes like tornado hats sweeping
the heated streets with a wail: the galloping horses break at
lines crossed, with knights no longer wearing armor for metal cast
become trampled with hooves from mad horses unable to tear
away gazes fixed on missions lost. naked men wander in deserted
roads seeking truth, then the tides rush in to engulf dusty plains
eager to be washed clean, thoroughly scrubbed, with metal pots and armor
bent sizzling in acid rain. hot tears from angel's eyes pouring from
invisible lines crossed, their flaming swords melt into a cauldron spinning
on tip toes. worshippers kneel at glory untold when rainbows break
their silence, silver needle turns dark - pricks the heart whose beat thuds
like a beasts whose horns have been cut off, ripped out, discarded into
silence at the center of a growing storm cloud. her voice is the many echoes
of sirens riding clouds, their tales are the vaporizing tears from dead angels
whose wings have been taken. then merry men swim in the frothing lava,
filled with angel's bones, tears, dust - the song is high and mellow, low and fervent,
flaming tongues glide past skin, bemused stares at lyrical pieces dropping from
dark needles raining from heaven's gutted bowels.
