Darkness In Happy Mood

Gristly earth between heat cracked toes
Emanations of gazes, a hundred of them
Men with shoulders edged, fenced faces
And girls with straight bangs and licked lips
Crimson coated with smooth black skin
I look up, i look down, i look up
And again I dig in, mistook for
Aged, ugly brethren
Of midnight frosted fingers
Endless back and forth, quagmire earth
I fall on tired knees gristly earth in ripped fingernails
All the pneumatic doors shut, and shut and shut
And i hear them all
Minutes in seconds
Day to day the sun barely sets and then is up again
Forbidden from ways and cut paths
I pull to a halt
Only to start, mercilessly onwards
Hushed, and bent, step to step to step.
