Tapeworm

When I was a child they made me read

Word-daggers of quiver and squirm

Now in the stumbling dark I see

I am a worm, silently fruiting your garden

My sister, my child

Night casts ominous meanings on the purity of my soul

I feel devilish leanings I'm beginning to lose control

And the vortex sucks me in

Steeped in sin I die

But am reborn

I want to see the cosmos slip

Planets and moons collide

Feel gravity lose its grip

It's all inside

All the dead husks are shattered

My life-blood, my world ripped apart

In the laughter of space

It's all chaff blown out and lost

Now I am making the pace

Although I don't know what tape I'll cross

Maybe catastrophe

When I cross the line

I know that I will find myself

Or maybe you

I am a man from the country of destruction

I am a man a woman and a God

I am my own weapon of kamikaze

And will one day cut through the

Hidden knot

Feed me honey and watch me rise

To the bait lying on the knife

If you let me I can hypnotise your life

It's all really so simple

My lover, my twin

Hand in hand, sprinting down the highway

Running over the edge

On and on into our doomsday

There is no saving ledge

Nor outgrown shrub

Is this the way?

Out in a blaze of glory?

Some day I'll find the answer

Some day I'll

End the story
