Vain all the streetlight's lines and liquor
vain all the bitches that linger
and the vaults of December
vain all the wailing causes
that gather around the blood tree
and the scythe tongue splatters
beg for the divine ooze
watch the roots rip around
the brave turf near the gravestones
vain watchers who never rise or fall
wrapped up in a tidal scroll.
