Trees hang dunk off branches in streets,
burning buildings collapse with watery gazes
unsuspected going undetected,
fully clothed with raped windows
watching the ordeal
air blasting the hot country
that seems to shake and move away from chilling touches,
indescribable fear in bones
breakable
but holding steady
watch for the lies.
haunted houses and old men dressed up,
terrified adults and petrified youths,
screaming down cretin paths that lead to longer streets.

People which break parts of themselves to run away
bags filled with rings of gold and hands of steel
sold for penny’s to one who questions but never asks.

Love lies in the hearts of others
slurred on the speech of beers and whiskeys
drunk be the drunk with hypnotizing manners
refusal to believe will lead you,
refusal to deny will lose you
and mountains call the fact wrong
their high and mighty shape  
twisting and bending unnatural
twisting and bending terrified
