The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Who is your silent sky?

Who was once your one and only?

Who will be your next distraction?



What should-could I say

When you sent a message, late one night

Asking "This isn't gonna work out is it?"

I could have broken open and cried



You needed-wanted an answer

But I was trying to breathe

I can't cause I'm drowning

From the inside.

Past the farthest precipice of the soul

To the dustiest corner of the universe

Where the walls are cracking, breaking,

Expanding like the stomach of the Past

And the ego of god

Lies what was something so precious and lost

It huddles with its knees meeting the chin,

The hands covering the eyes, and a lullaby

Spilling in whispers



The dark solitude that makes up the air

Is invaded by the sleepy stars that

Move in foggy streams

The Silence that blazes through with the

Solitude in hand

Rips and roars so loud that the words

And dreams can’t speak for themselves

Past high wires that scrape the sky

And abandoned outlet malls

You’ll find the outstretched arms

Of West Texas

Where the land moves with the sun

When the sun up comes

The baby hills reach tiptoe then

Roll out in reds, oranges, and silhouettes

The mesquite trees strike across the backdrop

Like earthen lightening

And then there are the clouds

That fly like the scissor tail swallows migrating over the

Rainbow to sleep among hushed blue bonnets.

I know this grassy meadow so well

That has gone into a silent spell

This place was once filled with so much

Spring and Summer

That the bugs themselves buzzed with

Heat and Life



The world fell asleep

So quickly

So quietly

It’s seems I have dropped into

Wonderland

I bound like a snow bunny

Losing my tracks to drifts

And laugh in spite of myself
