Mother Make Sleep

Readers friendly turn the page
Place aside consequence
Leaps of faith
Well you're almost trailing me

Feed your den, employ the knaves
Pay divine heirophants
Keep away
When they're always chasing me

Mother, will you make sleep?
You wear me down
Fortune's wheel lies

Secrets of a lesser breed
Justice, Lovers, Moons agree
Extant fragmentary gleeful tales
Castle-meeting travelers speak
Matter, space & time oblique

The writer waits instead of me
For hours in silence

Praetors' men destroy the sage
Push aside common sense
People pray
When they're all unveiling me
Swords and cups and coins and staves
Adeptus mind
Providence
Here today, but tomorrow endless grief
Mother, will you make sleep?
You dare me now
Fortune's wheel lies

Secrets of a greater creed
Empress, Tower, Fool and me
Distant supplemental fearful lies
Never-ending rulers speak
Cleaving up the broods, so weak
The writer waits in front of me
You'll take no license

Teachers gently coin the phrase
Waste your life on the Fence
Steeplechase
Well they're all insane but you
Keep your pen
Enjoy the day
Raise a Flag
Apply for grants
Defeat the prey
Well, they're always chasing you
Mother, will you make sleep?
You wear me down
Fortune's wheel lies
