Tearing up the sidewalks
pouring wet cement
Erasing your initials
alphabet wrecked
I watched you pour white gasoline
to cover up your scent
Burned your name to cinders
alphabet wrecked

blue you wear like martyr blue
atom bomb bruises, cold war flu

A blind streak of light
tearing through the pines
electric non-fiction
alphabet mine
Molten river riding high
like a fever in the shine
No more words for you
alphabet mine

blue you wear like martyr blue
atom bomb bruises, cold war flu

OH MERCURY, YOU SHOULD SKATE
ON SILVER BLADES, FIGURE EIGHTS
ON A FROZEN LAKE

Tearing up the sidewalk
pouring wet cement
erasing your initials
alphabet wrecked
Molten river riding high
fever in the shine
No more words for you
alphabet mine, alphabet mine, alphabet mine
