i climb up to the mountain
just to share my point of view
of life, the universe and everything

i'll take you to the fountain
just to have a drink with you
a slow and everlasting dream


and if we are here just to ease god's sorrow
lord come to me and i'll ease your mind

come to me cause i know it's my only way out of this place
and i know it will come in time
don't take me away too soon

but please don't be late for me

and he dipped his head into the existential void

where he called into the wall of silent empty ears
among the sea of tangled mouths gnashing
singing their hideous shrieking smile

a hard flowing river of hellos he could not wade against
he could not wade against them


tortured tongues feast their frenzy
they hiss out all that is nothing
the night time of the hearing flower

has put aside the laugh dancing flame
no longer warming the wings
of their fluttering dust angel mistress

the petals have closed for this long night
their brittle limbs are thinning


their meek and weeping gesture fares their well
to the falling paper blossoms
one by one, down into the everflow

one by one, drown into the overflow
gliding through the emptiness
flying through the emptiness
