Dear Father,

Silly how I cried out your name
In all it's splendid holiness
In the midst of thy storm
Where the walls collapse
Leaving me aching,needing,naked.....

Do you remember me?
Once bathed in your altar
Where this child was sacrificed
Wrapped in white to be thy lamb

And the scars remained
From thy madness painted in your cruel Eden
Where I've lost you...
Among the greased faces of the manic crowd

Let me bleed...

Let me hear your angel's berceuse I beseech you
For I hunger for this plosive silence
Let them not cry....

Remember me
Now tracing back the memory of your silent shadow
My limbs now weak I lay aside....

I only came to say goodbye.

Mother loves him.Father loves him
At the dining table they pray
Mother's arms laid before them
He took the fork and knife...

Mother poured her tears
In a plastic cup for her little boy
Sweat and blood.
It quenched the thirst of the maggot

Dinner was served
And he slept with a bellyful of gas

Then mother is gone.
And there's no more breakfast
(As if there's always one)
Father is there
Assuring him with a crooked grin
Everything will be alright

Father loves him
For he would hold him at night
And he would read the newspaper
Like a dimwit scholar
While he makes his coffee
Of burnt grains of rice

Mother is gone
Father is alright.

Little boy ran away
And father is kind
Home again,the boy would climb the shelf
Father's newspapers would smile
And he is safe

Father loves him
For he would caress him at night
The neighbors were asleep or went gambling down the streets
He would whimper
And father gets mad

And his tattoo gets wider and wider
Swallowing his naked flesh

Father was satisfied.

Loves him,loves him
And he would climb the shelf while father sleeps
And the gush of hot,sticky liquid is another puzzle
On his back down to his legs...

Days goes by and still the neighborhood stinks
Drunkards and whores won't bother

And the flies waver where he hides peacefully.....
Behind the paper the little boy plays-----------

Behind the paper...
Behind the paper...
