city.park [at sundown]

By Six-Out






.take.

.takethepowerback.
we scream like gods in the sea.
the taste of opium in the air
like soma stars and an urge
to rage.

and I know I'm not a saint
in this pit. - like a bullet in the head
I'm drifting. feet from the ground.
tonight.

I feel.


and they chant. [fuckyou]
as we jump for ourselves- and bleed
our souls. one.more.time.

feed this instance.
and

worship-
the music.

    "We scream like gods in the sea." What I like about this is that is has power behind it, in so few words. Nice work.
