Tonight

Tonight 

Yeah! Tonight

I am gonna put it right

In my sudden head

Lovers’ foot-prints sink

Like piss-holes on a snow-blanketed road

To hazy zeros

I can see hollow heroes 

Beckoning airily

              To sandy castles

I can see rattle-snakes

Half halo

Half foam

Wriggling

                  To and fro

                  Left and right 

Yeah! Tonight

I am gonna put it right

I can take some toast

I can turn and boast 

I can say “hey, you host

Fuck your roast!”

I can get busy

Meditating on a mole

I can gasp, be dizzy

For giving a lecture on human soul

But all the same, foul are names

Bent are games

And when the promised horse of oblivion

Gets set

Tired and bruised

On behalf of the blues

I neigh

Full of mire and might 

Yeah! Tonight

I am gonna put it right
