Ghost Stories
(album: Ghost Stories)
raindrops fell without rage eyes
half-closed skin like dark gray metal inanimate and cold.
another flame to my face the smell of sulfur lingering away.
you´re here for the perforation of the heart.
precise incisions; anesthetic dreams.
it´s broken like a ticking watch
that need repairs shattered glass,
exposed face, waiting to be wound.
wounded like a friend of mine
who eased his pain by killing time
not letting it kill him.
when you wake up you won´t remember anything.
but that night the ghosts wailed in the windstorm.
cries sharp like a crescent moon
a sickle grazed against the skin
my breath fogged up the window
so i let the night breathe in.
i let the ghosts into my room
and listened to their screams incessant whisperings
singing like music to my ears
a flash of life like lightning electric blinding blue
reminded me of me.
