Yesterday, I was working in my when I saw a possum Swinging in the and he was all beat up and hobbling I got a closer and his foot was mangled I was woken up earlier by I thought was the cat tangled But it was him who got it bad the cat that night Slowly the hill when he slipped under the fence I brought myself up to him out; he found a nook under the air conditioner I him out to Caroline, she crouched down and he was shaking and full of fear And when she up, I asked, "Baby, why you crying?" She said, "Because he's cute and he's down there and dying"
I went up to my room and I got a call Justin He was in San Francisco and Godflesh was Caroline drove me halfway there where I met And we drove to the city and we parked out in of the DNA Justin and us, we had some and we took photographs backstage And our guts were protruding and all of and we just kept laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing and laughing Laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and and laughing Laughing and and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing
And Godflesh took the stage, Tony and I, we stood there floored Drum machines hammered and feedback For a moment, everybody silent While Justin tuned his like a church, it got so quiet Just for a minute, and then they all together Like a car off a cliff, we crashed and burned over and over and again and They threw vicious guttural B-flats [?] like a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán in the seventh Moore June 16, 1983 Godflesh [?] like an early Mark "Gator" lunged at the mic like a hungry grey white He was on fire, it everything he had and killing it that night! Tearing out his prey and it came to a halt A relentless and beautiful voice, a 70 assault And then he bowed down and he set his seven electric guitar down And screeched to holy and they disappeared and off went the crowd
Then we had pizza and I came back to my in the city Until 4AM, I watched movies and my ears ringing And I called out at the house We talked about the concert, the possum down in the nook
And the ocean air came my window And the sound of foghorns, and then when I Godflesh was in LA Tony had an open that day And I looked out at And Caroline was on her way back from Lake I got a call Paolo Sorrentino I'd be off to in a week or so
Caroline came that night and we had dinner and watched HBO And I'm grateful for her and for my friends And to seen the possum walk its last walk along the island
I want to old and to walk my last walk Knowing I, too, gave it everything I got But again it's all roadblocks and all obstacles I For to live another day is better than to not And I'd like to die with in my ears The piano of Ravel or Godflesh's guttural growls from hell The sound that evokes good memories of being young and to get around And I'd like beside me
That old lost the fight His sad, black eyes; what a thing to see on a Easter Sunday But that rodent was loved and he's still of bells rang that day I remember hearing them in the afternoon as we left He had to heard them too
