River Street 11pm


Street lamps stoop to peer
Betwixt purple rain
Front Street clock tower
The forgiven elder
Electric shadows swerve
2 step(s) to the dance floor

Invitation to darkness
Minutes melting
along a cyclical horizon
The counter part to conception
Glimmering glimpse into heaven
Spirits entangled in noise
And motion

Beneath the skin and bones of man
Mainlining the original
Beat to the node
Song soul spirit Sun
Begins and ends with you
Bedfellow of a specter

Midnight means frigid
Heart sparked
By an aura which supplies
Sugar and manna
To a kiss dreamt
In sword play

Defeat the dusk
Embedded in this dance
Nestled in the siren's song
Scythe reclaiming an eve
Hallowed by hunger
Pursuant to that number
