Candy

Once upon a time there was Candy and Dan.

Things were very hot that year,

all the wax was melting in the trees.

He would climb balconies,

climb everywhere,do anything for her--

oh Danny boy.

Thousands of birds

the tiniest birds

adorned her hair.

Everything was GOLD.

One night the bed caught fire.

He was handsome and a very good criminal.

We lived on sunlight and chocolate bars.

It was the afternoon of extravagant delight

DANNY THE DAREDEVIL.

Candy went missing...

The days' last rays of sunshine cruise like sharks.

I wanna try it your way this time.

You came into my life really fast and I liked it.

We squelched in the mud of our joy.

I was wet thighed with surrender.

Then there was a gap in things--

and the whole Earth tilted.

This is the business

this is what we're after.

With you inside me comes the hatch of death;

and perhaps I'll simply never sleep again.

THE MONSTER IN THE POOL.

We are a proper family now

with cats and chickens and runner beanseverywhere

I looked

AND SOMETIMES I HATE YOU.

Friday-I didnt meant that mother of the blueness,

angel of the storm.

Remember me in my opaqueness

you pointed at the sky

that one called sirius or dog star,

but on earth,

fly away sun,

ha ha fuckin ha, you are so funny Dan.

A vase of flowers by the bed,my bare blue knees at dawn

these ruffled sheets

and you are gone and i'm going to bed.

I broke your head on the back of the bed,

but the baby died in the morning.

I gave him a name,

his name was THOMAS.

Poor little god...

his heart pounds like a voodoo drum.
