I want to rip apart

the heavens, watch

the angels cry out.

I’ve seen Devil’s dance

among tombs and

angels romance.

I have seen saint and sinners

beat each other breathless.

They’re one and the same.

Trying to be good

in a world that is conflicted;

I am only so much gifted.

I have no problem dancing

in cemeteries because the

dead can see the living,

see us dancing under the moon.

Just don’t be living dead,

hopeless; that’s no way to be.

Remember, we see
