bloodprints
blood prints and angels
in poloroid photos
seemstress and lover
on golden scratched wings
in darkness we cover
the distance between us
persuing and pushing
the divinalist rod
we make up impressions
with the impurest of thoughts
and drain all the prowess
from little lost wraiths
the children are crawling
across the great oceans
at lumbering speeds
through infinite wastes
though dancing
we are coughing
the last of our breath
� B McLean 1998-99

fading.incandescence
she's pulling stars like pulling teeth
this aching in the wound
this deep crimson wound of mine
memories fading
cold and weary
fading like a cancerous image
on dirty glass
weary eyes that turn a deep blue
glass like hands that scrape and crawl
blue limbs outstreached
crawl away from the memories
that make me cold
streached across the red lit sky
cold it turns
as the shadows grow deeper
� B McLean 1998-99

anchor
[ i ] brad's
this is all we have
then this is all we give
make mine up
of broken glass
and shattered dreams
taken this ship home
to my love
and there she will stay
until the end of everything,
anchor I will say
[ ii ] alyssa's
black & white
continued strife
still searching
for the lost behind
all these knots
are blackened hands
pacing tight
along the edge
dreaming vivid in my mind
this, my anchor, kept in time
all the weight
and broken strands
still filling me up with sand
� B McLean 1998-99
