PENDULUM As I kill two birds with one stone a red sun has never shone like fire inside my dreams until tonight it was always a cold yellow moon a voodoo moon an act of contrition will never save this soul I know the end is coming all too soon with it the fire of darkness it will bring and the pendulum it starts to swing I take a grain of salt and rub it into this wound in my ear I hear between the silence layered cries of dreams that beckon in my ear like a drone as you walk without touching the cracks your heart an act of violence who suffers from it’s ravenous appetite your bark silent compared to your bite as my mind reels from all these things the pendulum ever so slowly begins to swing As I kill two birds with one stone there’s this gnawing feeling in my bones like something tearing at my flesh from the inside out the wisterias full of jet black ravens who have fallen from the skies cut from the blackness of the night I make the sign of the cross in blood upon each tree confusion has it’s price shadows cast upon the earth only shadows of doubt as the bells of a thousand churches begin to ring I hang my head and chant a prayer of the forgiven as the pendulum like my mind violently begins to swing Abandoned by my own heart the execution of my mind this feeling of desolation is deep within my bones I shall worship no dark things bury my fear into the dust as the pendulum brushes my skin you light the fire that bears your child kneeling before me you break open the heavens with your sin the blade begins to sting as the pendulum of your love continues to swing the pendulum and the tortured love it brings © Glenn Bowie 2010
