a poem by Thax Douglas (mkl.)

My long time friend and estimed rock and roll poet laureate, Thax Douglas, read a poem for us at our show at The Fireside Saturday night.

Thank you, Thax.

Here it is:
----------

'TURN PALE'

     On Earth
unwinding itself as
     it orbits forms
a mummy chockfull
     of question marks
that tickle when it's
     sleekly pulled on
like any dress - the
     magma at the
Earth's core coyly
     fly up to provide
earrings and other
     accessories as the
planet exits stage through -
     fashion always
has a place to go as
     the mummy explores
its coffin gently pushing
     against the trillion
invisible layers that
     throb like a scab
collection lovingly
     webcast every
time the sun goes
     to do its makeup.
