keep sorting the stones

By whisperer

checked.....written spasms and the agony of being brain fried


stone upon stone removed and inspected, stamped with a date number and replaced
too many for one year



silent hills of maggot infested hellos

and silver plated goodbyes



i hate them both





one through twelve ringed around the finger of accusation
is it time

or chances....




keep sorting the stones




readily identifiable excuses and failures spring up like weeds
canstant gardener of inborn malliable pretences

leg chains



keep sorting the stones



who's burning cross can i bear next
bible thumping pussies

i could throw you a lot further than i could trust you

words are steps to a dance but it's a fight to dictate the music isn't it



keep sorting the stones


easy in it's reckless abandon out is a climb


keep playing the game until someone runs out of reason


and rhyme




anesthetized way too much anymore




keep sorting the stones


the opening comes in a matter of words
