the hottest days of summer

in the hottest days of summer
i was a drunken fool
i drank and got much number
til my soul felt less cruel
i was invisible
unseen by men and only ghosts

i hack the moon to pieces
i spit in a ravens eye
i pigtied chupacabra
and skinned him half alive
javelina were my companions
in the wicked desert field
i chewed stones for my pleasure
no caution did i yield

i danced with the serpents daughter
and her scales of disease
her callous tongue entwined me
and brought me to my knees
i slit the sky wide open
doused the sun with blood
i fell into a slumber
drowned in a pool of mud

i tilled up the graveyard
leveled the mausoleum
i milled all the dry bones
and sifted them with salt
i hacked the moon to pieces
i spit in a ravens eye
i pigtied chupacabra
chewed stones

in the hottest days of summer
i was a drunken fool
i drank and got much number
til my soul felt less cruel
i was invisible
unseen by men and only ghosts
