Prophets of doom past times arising

In my mind's eye the sky smiles

A swastika black

Hitler's appearing with Micky Mouse ears

And I'm raped with a vision

Of cartoon messiahs

Naked women are dancing offering up vases

Sometimes filled with sadness

Sometimes with machines

A cemetery of Noddy caps

Fills up the starspaces

Black dogs are barking

And white dogs are laughing



This is how the silence

Manifests as Christine



Black geese are dying

And white geese are dying

And dun geese are dancing

Then fade into dying

Whilst the sound of child's laughing

Overflows kindness

Steven's appeared as the essence of smoke

Balance appears incarnate as earthstar

Douglas comes running muscled yet death's head

Christ hovers round me moistened and misty

The sky is metallic

It's trembling and savage



This is how silence

Manifests as Christine



All this is not real all this is not real

First the light's obscured

It's bee-stung with darkness

The twilight is blistered

The earth's form is blistering

Now - the silence speaks

And before my eyes sightless not shifting

Immaculate comes Christine manifest as silence

And then trough the forest

And there through the forest

With the rushing and whining

Of a wind cut in scarlet



This is how the silence

Manifests as Christine
