Absent Minded

Doll


Buttoning up my eyes
    Stitched my mouth closed
  Binding my hands
Wearing my heart on my clothes
    Smoke to smother my skin
  Halo of thorns
    Solid exterior
     Shredded feather stomach
  Necklace not to afford
    Rotten love fills my skull
     Deepening the vain
  Spoiled chicken blood
     Three days of reign

  Lead soul
    Pencil D&^%
 And S&*% for brains
   Three piece suit
    Cologne of image
  Smell of royalty on your breath
     Cracked needless candy
  Hollow as the Eve
     Christened stern sailors
 Shipments of belief
   Submissive intuitions
     Dire needs
  Two edged sword
    Without the handle
  Superstitious relief
     Controversial white candles
    For a wick of speech
      Hypnotized by the truth in your lies
             Looking within to feel your self
       Sanctified by your own controls
A wick for speech
