Dazzle



Swallowing diamonds

A cutting throat

Your teeth when you grin

Reflecting beams on tombstones



A jamboree of surprises

Playing russian roulette

Or the lucky clip

A clenched fist to your heart

Coal dust on your lungs



A silver tongue for the chosen one

Heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn



Skating bullets on angel dust

In a dead sea of fluid mercury

Baby piano cries

Under your heavy index & thumb

Pull some strings -- let them sing



The stars that shine & the stars that shrink

In the face of stagnation the water runs

Before your eyes

Dazzle

It's a glittering prize
