~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

The only life is hands
the only death is faces
mating begins upon the gallows
where life can imitate truth
but truth is an illusion
of smoke, of mirrors
and death is fiction
of joke, of rumor
Naked is the only joy
Broken beds are broken toys
as one goes step by step
into the darkness
movement is the only truth
and magic can be found
within all of theory's proof.
