On the night that my love broke through
|
On the night that my love broke through
|
Revelations that came unglued
|
On the night that my love broke through
|
|
Cell doors were opened
|
Guards stepped out the way
|
Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay
|
|
Flowers long since dead
|
Stiffened at the neck
|
Colors came back in green and yellow and in red
|
|
Unemployed cowboy
|
Staggered on Fairfax
|
Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back
|
|
A copy of Bukowski
|
At the bottom of the stack
|
Got pickup by some dropout who read it front to back
|
Shoving off the death hand of his past
|
|
Ants were crawling out of
|
Grimy bathtub drains
|
Janitor was laughing, he had finally gone insane
|
|
City buses swerving
|
Arriving right on time
|
Vending machines were selling glasses of white wine by the dime
|
|
Streetlights got a burst of
|
Electricity
|
Sparks danced across windshields like a grand finale
|
|
Metal detector's beeping
|
Sound was deafening
|
Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings
|
We all stopped to listen to him sing
|
|
On the night when my love broke through
|
On the night when my love broke through
|
Revelations that came unglued
|
On the night when my love broke through
|
|
On the night
|
On the night
|
On the night
|
On the night
|
