Samples

Purity (Jun\'09) The clock with knives for hands Bought for a song, bought for a joke On the first day of Autumn From the place by the tree With the woman who smiled Sadly at children The clock with knives for hands That never hung straight On the wall in the kitchen With plates piled high and Roses, gathered on the table By ashtrays full of photos The clock with knives for hands That never kept time, or ticked Or tocked, Just sat on the wall, Like a door holds a lock Like a butterfly trapped in a box
