New scent for cologne:
salt seas whipped and tamed inside
bathroom stored bottles.
something's going on
behind the spinning atom
but we can't see it.

and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

but we cant see it
whatever hovers behind
that stained old curtain
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
that stained old curtain
hides so many skeletons...
do you want to know?

do you want to know
the happy housewife's secret?
Bathroom stored bottles.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
Bathroom stored bottles.
Pastel containers of glass,
what do they contain?

snow and sprout again
patiently waits the flower
wrapped in sweet slumber
Wrapped in sweet slumber
Unaware of the world around
He enjoys his dreams
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
He enjoys his dreams,
His escape from reality—
Life has become harsh…
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Life has become harsh...
the world's agonies displayed.
A child's hungry cry.

a child's hungry cry
goes unheard, unattended
what world we live in
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
what world we live in
avoiding painful lives with
turned heads and blind eyes.

turned heads and blind eyes--
cries go unheard, deaths unseen.
peace is murdered cold.
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
peace is murdered cold;
the war stick reigns absolute
hope forever lost
hope forever lost
our enemies overrun
our last defences
