the carnival is dead and gone

		dear sir dear lady
		this carnival is dead and gone
		and never anyway alas this party never yet began
		the chairs and tables dust of dust
		yes verydust of veryrust of verymust and farewelltrust
		i thought i saw you in the crowd dear heart
		you turned away from me and dissolved into light
		the broken lights and faded buntings
		call to us all the inmost light
		and don't glare wide your eyes in wonder
		they will flick back inside your mind
		and on the bonescreen of your skull
		they watch no musical salutes
		so thoroughly modern now we are
		but the last reel of all time
		the inmost night
		its frames are glared and slow and out of focus
		Valentino Vallee Moss all dead!
		the inmost night
		and the little bells go tinkle
		and your eyes begin to twinkle
		and the joints and sinews crack
		it's the expansion of your mind death
		death
		death
		death
		the inmost night
		the cat's face glares from shiny card
		the deadcat from my past
		you tumble you froth and fun forever
		an orchestra from another time
		another world all dead
		the churchbells silent the rainstained glass of God is smashed
		and you take your choice you sup with the devil
		you choke on your pride for ever and ever
		my memory of my inmost light tumbles froth and fun forever
		vulvaic memories imagined of my would-be-life
		well that won't be
		and that won't be
		and that won't be
		and for my troubles and my pain
		and for the losses and the wains
		i get a picture in my mind
		the slyly smily smiling kiss
		of your sweet heart and face
		and your legs in some final benediction
		your inmost warmheart says ta-ra
		the inmost light
		and i wished to die inside of you
		and push up into your heart so violently that
		face to face with matrix creatrix am
		the inmost light
		the inmost night
