vaguerie lullabie

heaven falls on eyelids
in mists and mirages
in clenched lies throughout
tragedies snare gnash

defiant and poignant,
where are the catch phrase spells
that will bring Lazarus
out from his cave?

vaguerie lullabies that have nations
full of snide notions
of the songs
we sing

we are dead
something has died
where has it gone?
i dont know--

am i to sleep serene
to vaguerie lullabie
with grandiose gestures of
teleprompted serenity or

quake neurotic
chattering talks of conspiracy and
the powers that be?

i have no thoughts on destiny
not now
when my mind aches
for cohesion

for trust
above
for trust
within

we are dead
something has died
but listen
to the curtailing melodie

here are things
and here's how to get them

heaven falls on eyelids
in mists and mirages
in clenched lies throughout
tragedies snare gnash

vaguerie lullabie,
vaguerie lullabie
