Queen Contrary Woman

by Brad Parrish

I stabbed the sun last night

And tears poured from the ceiling of blackness

Dead rivers bled orange fires

So I turned my back on the breeze

but the mountains screamed in agony

And the lakes erased all reflections

Trapped in the forests of contradiction

You swim through the smoke of sorrow

Drowning in the weakness of your addiction

While being raped by the thoughts of tomorrow

I speared the innocence of night

And lightning slaughtered its stream

Clouds ripped into rage

So I slashed the waters fall

But the thunder fled from dreary skies

And the caves took their last breath

Trapped in the forests of contradiction

You fuck all night, but who you don't know

Your surrounded by the snakes of affliction

While being raped by the thoughts of tomorrow

I shot twilights gentle shimmery

And the mist vanished into unknown depths

Suffocated groves flickered with death

So I strangled the swollen darkness

but the fields fled in disarray

and the oceans slipped into unconsciousness

Trapped in the forests of contradiction

You heed the summons of the lost crow

Your mesmerized by the face of dereliction

While being raped by the thoughts of tomorrow
