Cross and Zero

Автор: Лорд Брайтон


with cross and a zero sealed the cold northern day

just like a family scandal hidden in walls

the word dissipated to needles and razor-thin tin

while angry blizzard obliged to dance on bonfire



like age old insomnia wires howl in throat

a headache, it's only a headache and nothing more

and here's the price, and the spring, and the bed and the wall

and here are the miracles, heavens, voices and eyes



the alien road with unsure and trembling left hand

crossed out with X, and circled around the sides

and i am still standing somehow and watch on and on

as high rising flight digs itself into the snow



and putrefied autumn's like ash on the splinters of teeth

the night measures ultimate level of weariness

a headache, it's only a headache and nothing more

to stand and to watch is to simply forgive and stay mum



a cross and a zero of the empty spaces are born

in timeless house a door slammed right after mind

the word dissipated to needles and razor-thin tin

while angry blizzard obliged to dance on bonfire
