10 Thermidor - Shinobu

The day broke

right down the center.

Think I got enough strength

left in me

to see the dream die.

Try not to rake your teeth

when you wrap your mouth

around this Phoenician lie:

that all the good people,

they’re really good inside.

These are the haunted times.

I feel the warmth.

I feel alive.

And I can hear a new age

coming down the line

but it sounds the same.

Set up the scaffold

because there’s no love

on 10 Thermidor
