Thief

4 1 0
                                    

Down the red eye
moon barrel
Dusty
with yesterday's song

Watching us
weeping
Keeping vigil
all night long

We wrestle
with black licorice teardrops
and costumes
of pain

worn out
on streets here
where fear
remains

and we are no savages
yet we walk near
as the monster lurks
in a window above

Each patron dancing
in oblivious boots
was unaware of the thief
who is
unsympathetic of love
