for stealing the stars, writing for the spotlights by The New Manila Mystic

i wish to be demonically intelligent

the raven to their dove, the gap in their happiness

i will be the answer to my own impermanence


uneasy on the eyes like minimalist, oneiric films

heavy on the lips like the bitter-sweetness of memories

familiar at night like old-timey melodies you don't even like

(it was only i who made the tread over troubled waters)

and i am the cat, sipping tea while watching the past

through my looking glass

reciting rule number one, in order to steal the stars?

just sit back and relax and that was that 


Harvey is dumping electric seizures down coffins at three

Sivvy is praying to recover thee

and all Peggy was to do is praise stupid women in the streets


just watch


acquiesce oh little ones

for your names are safe in His mouth - ach du, reduced to I


oh moi, oh moi, food for the lowlife's limelight
