Father Whalen

father whalen  father father whalen

death-defying father true grief

she’s such a diamond

a dark dark diamond

dead child like a black-and-white film

window ice  ice ice window

like a first dance on earth in space now

feel strange  really feel strange

falling head  a hundred-foot flames

all the way down

thick fog  safe car

does your momma know where you are

love love like a french postcard

screaming bullet in the tunnel of dark

now it’s gone i’m flipping to my death

in my x-15  like the first dance

whild millions of men are falling down through the void

i just want to be your sexual toy

all the way down

loons loons in the marsh at night

never never see them in the broad daylight

all the angels on the edge of hell screaming

don’t go down there
