"The Sandman's Suicide"

My oldest T-shirt (circa 1984)



A sleep filled spasticated dream induced twitch
A lower extremity rape by a witch
Why under my cover of deepness & dark
Why can't I see her face, hear the bitch bark

A sharp intake of air, through enamelled pegs
It's dark, it's cold, the agony, my legs
Eyes shut tight, teeth all but gone
Frozen in place, only roots to hold on

Wrapped around skin & rotting bones
Hand does wander.....sweat to sleep filled moans
Rusty hooked chains hang from ceiling & wall
Eyes wide open, bolt upright I fall

Attached, screwed in, whatever you like
The pain is unbearable, rips out my light
Floor planted for something, anything but this
Please let go of me, this molten kiss

Sleep walk in agony, around the room
Around once more, be gone now......be soon
As my teeth cool down, less shattered, more me
Boiled turned simmer turned cool to see

The witch is in hiding now, cloaked with dagger
Waiting to pounce once more, to watch me stagger
Steal my dreams, turn my sand into stone
Makes a mockery of me, makes my body her home...
