true to the word...

True to the word
The congregation stands
To sing in such harmony
Whilst outside the gentle fading light
Paints crimson these flowers of clouds on high
softly striated bands
And I
Cigarette in hand
Clinging to the gutter
Forbidden lands
Trashed again
Hopeless
Laughing
Soft to the glitter of the birds so close
And I
With no one to call my own
Laugh
For isn't life so grand
Paper wrapped container
Part of hand
For far so long
With the sky of crimson
A true holy choir
One unbroken cigarette
Find it within me still
To laugh
