Her Brother

Now involved in tomorrow's skyline
His aura cast upon stolen time
Amanda meets her brother at the dawn.
Sunshine splashes tangerine
Invades the minted, morning air
A sad striptease unveils the soul
Never closer, always there.
Just like her brother, now a shadow
Now a building made of dust
Hovering inside the morning
Now a timeless, ageless crust
Amanda meets her brother at the dawn.
The city, sweating beerclouds sprawls
Still unleashed from the night before
Dehydration, sallow pores
Another day to wish away
Amanda meets her brother at the dawn.
Amanda's brother, now a cloud
Reclines on the horizon line,
Crawls into a big, black hole,
Creeps up on Amanda's soul
In shadowplay
and silhouette
The fabric of the dawn now dead,
The spectre
of another brother
Is clinging to another Amanda
As dormant seeds bleed fertile dreams
And battered by the blackest rain
A leafy dancefloor
swirls below
Flock roundabouts of phantom planes…
The end (the end, the end, the end)
Rides high above in crossdream slumber
Soothes the pangs of spirit hunger
Releasing that which never dared
To break into a rhymeless
world
Which, ever-slower trudges past
An untold time, whose unseen pockets
Hide in every shadow cast
The end (the end, the end, the end)
The very last drop before she goes
Amanda parts the life she failed
Now every blackest drop she swallows
Soaked in black, to no avail
Amanda paws her brother's skin
Embraces him; their frames give in
Unite in downthrust
bodyspin
Join as one, all black and flowing
Sharing bloodlines, the merging twins
Turn blind - all-seeing, blank -
all-knowing
Hurtling downwards, together again
Landing with the phantom planes
Amanda meets her brother
At the dawn.
