Neon CreatorA Poem by Ryan Patrick WalshCity Life. Corruption. Fate. Power.This city's our flashing crater, Driving down Hell's Hundred Acres, They raise their cash filled hands in a prayer And my fingers reach down to catch them, But your eyes, They grow open and closed, open and closed, Just blinking between the glow of our Neon Creator,
Her smile she knows, growing to the tallest lamp posts and wherever her universe will go, Creeping down Soho and shortening the distance between a sealed smile she'll open to close, open and close, open and close, South Borough is our glowing home,
Likewise, I'm a neighborhood artist in a cast iron architecture, The universe foretells with exploding fingers that expand their control, Building her brothel next to a church that she'll work from open till close, Twenty five dollars to make her eyes grow softly open and closed, The cold chamber you load for open eyes to close,
But the industrial jungle I cover in a canopy of skyscrapers, And the pavement smothered in dirty blood that you savor, That makes you their Maker, Deep in our shell we touch our Neon Creator, With pyramids turned upside down and floating buildings of gunfire lining the sky, The quakes of Apocalypse between the moments we glow, It's merely the times your eyes will quietly open and close, Merely the moments her smile is open till close, © 2010 Ryan Patrick Walsh |
