[RetroLounge]

On a Wedding Anniversary

The sky is torn across
This ragged anniversary of two
Who moved for three years in tune
Down the long walks of their vows.

Now their love lies a loss
And Love and his patients roar on a chain;
From every tune or crater
Carrying cloud, Death strikes their house.

Too late in the wrong rain
They come together whom their love parted:
The windows pour into their heart
And the doors burn in their brain.

Dylan Thomas

9. George's callin'

Born in a whore house
raised liked a slave

fucking & fighting
are all that I crave

knocking out windows
knocking down doors

calling George Bush
a worthless whore
