beneath the pandemonium twilight
lay pink poison thoughts
with the hashtag #odeath

this is our penultimate raindance
the next will not be for ceremony

The Electric Snow Dream: Death In Carthage

I.

When I am laid in earth
no trouble in thy breast
remember me

II.

I married a military man

And I am certain
of the wicked well he drinks

Of all the things that I could not’ve known
it is this love most unsuspected

And now into it’s mirrored depths I fall
escape is singed by sunlight burned
and banished from my mind

III.

Your hand Belinda for darkness shades me
on your shoulder let me rest

More I would but death invades me
the darker part of darkness waits

All my memories they have been pillaged
with your arms steady my gate

To the cliffs I return to drown his visage
within darkness there is darker
darkness waiting still

IV.

I see you in every rose bud
I see you in every cerulean swell
I hear you in every wanderer’s song
I feel you in each and every battered breath

Remember me
when I am laid
in earth

V.

Outside these walls the ships keep coming
filled with the ghosts of my dead wishes

And like a child beast of Hades
I am lost in these hysterics

Remember me my sailor when your darkness comes
aside the river Lethe I shall be waiting

Remember me dear Belinda
now walk me to the door.

VI.

Welcome dear sailor to Hades
it is here I have been waiting

Like a photograph, like a silent storm,
like a dried up rose.

This night my pain
shall not be wasted!

The time has come
my violent heart is chastened
undress, it is our reckoning.

VII.

When I am laid in earth
may my wrongs create no trouble
no trouble in thy breast

Remember me but, ah
forget my fate
