windows and mirrors

oh when i open my eyes

the universe splinters; i am lost

and have been, unfaithful

to my sky, and i the sun

bring collapse and collapse, i strip the world

for love -- for love

in dreams how it flickers and burns

and on awakening, falls into shining mosaic place

falling, darling, this world is made of love --

the only one i can live in

dear echoing ecstasy,

what sacrifice do you demand?

you, shadow of my only divinity

i have never believed in any god

but the taste of love and adrenaline,

and, twinwise, the tased of blood

what sacrifice do you demand?

any mortal piece of myself, i will give

and my sunlight, too,

rip apart the universe for you

and in the collapse,

the chasm my catechism,

i fade to the shape of a white carnation

still, fixed, a liar's pure,

painted in empty lamplight
