What Does The Queens Cargo Van Cost?

DECEMBER APRIL COMES THE NIGHT * LETTER TO JOHN LENNON

* Inspired by the Second Act "Barcarolle" from Tales of Hoffmann Opera by Jacques Offenbach .

Walk my body without a soul to the beat of the gondola Barcarola
with elegiac lament in tears and numb under sail
unshaded foliage
with the gondolier rowing and jet fateful cloak

Groove Dark Water channels
suffering from masked carnivals
my being is just a whiny sap
could not run or save your heart imprisoned

light was made to shut down the
darkness of death love and cruelty in conventions
antipode what boat you stand silent gall courtesan?
and whispers: "The heart, deserves warnings"

Queen of my world go to sea channel
to bury under the socket in your dark cold
where my poetry is rooted in his suffering
where they do not feel your voices and writings, only peace

I
sharply embraces melody caresses me like my mournful cries nonexistent
me be your listener, it is inert
pain goes away without unabashed glory

Zephyrs
warn the train reaches the grim epilogue
give me beloved troupe under the moonlight that kiss
before the descent to eternal mortar

Beautiful night, beautiful night ...
