'Too Many Poets'

Fractured Phrases (Chico)


 

 

Key to authors' pseudonyms

Seen you fly babe
High above broken skin
And your life fade
Like the crying night winds
You look around at the squalid mess
Ask me how can you live like this
And I'd tell you if I only knew
It's something to do with
Fractured phrases
Maybe a touch of rhythm and blues

You ride the planes
Out beyond growing years
Dictate the frame
For this canvas of tears
You speak around a mouthful of pain
Saying "Can't get worse 'less it rains"
And no one will tell you 'less I do
How no one can use your
Fractured phrases
It's just a touch of rhythm and blues

You take the time
To ride the border towns
And read the signs
Pick up the slightest sounds
You burn your way to the molten core
Screaming "your love is a chainsaw"
And I'd cut through hell to get to you
Leaving nothing more than
Fractured phrases
Give you a taste of rhythm and blues
