Corpse in the Copse

The following work is currently subject to dispute as to translation. It is published here in its "raw" form, translated in accordance with international standards, however as PedroTheBoatBuilder wrote in a now little know form of archaic Catalan, the accurate translation of which is still subject to debate, there is considerable scholarly disagreement as to correct usage and interpretation.

Cut the crust from off my eyes
Burn my flesh with fire
Dash my lifeless body on the rocks
Drag my corpse into the copse
And bury me in borrowed skin
I have no right to live within

Lay me out upon the snow
Leave me to the carrion crows
Naked in this time of toil
Consumed above the frozen soil
I have only ancient seeds to sow
And so the answer must be "no"

I am worthless in this thicket lost
I stumble on this ocean tossed
Hate me with your sharpest lance
The weak relinquish beauty's chance
No more vile within your mind
Than I so vile within mine

Drink your fill and turn away
Those were dreams of yesterday
Tomorrow brings a different light
Dead secretions of the night
Carry only useless weight
A broken will and self hate

Talk of ashes of a future past
A history that could not last
Broken glass glitters still
The glint of blood foretells the kill
And dogs released cannot be tamed
I've no one but myself to blame

Darlinghurst

I'm the piss-wreck from Darlinghurst
I have no place on planet earth
no time of death, no place of birth
just a piss-wreck from Darlinghurst

I grew up on Crown and Bourke
and watched the hookers work
no friends of any worth
for a piss-wreck from Darlinghurst

I say the end came first
I like to cuss and curse
nothing better, nothing worse
from a piss-wreck from Darlinghurst

Near death inside a hearse
broken down outside a church
no need to call a nurse
for the piss-wreck from Darlinghurst

And when I'm buried in the turf
you can fill you lungs with mirth
for I'll suffer as the devil's serf
I'm the piss-wreck from Darlinghurst

Angst

abstemious abstinence is abstract and as abstruse and absurd as abundant abuse is abysmal, although, always accessible and absolute, and; if accepted, accompaniment always accords an accurate academic account of an absent accomplishment.

all ability, alas is abdicated, absconding into abeyance, an aberration, an abject abnormality; abhorrent and by acquiescence, abided and adopted, as one addles and adjourns always to apathy.

always adept, we are, without aforethought, to agitate and aggravate with ardently audacious alacrity ... ahh ... an albatross, accessory, all astray, an anchor, adjudicating our advances, ajar, askew, akimbo, amok, all alchemy ... almost!

alone, alien, an alias, anyone ... an unaligned adjunct, amorphous, apocryphal, seeking alms in an alter allegory ... accused as alarmist, an anathema, anarchist, abominable, an atheist, arch-enemy and anti-christ.

assumed adversaries, angered, announced aggression ... annihilation as we avoid absolution ... asking for anti-deluvian anonymity... apoplexy ... anything! .. at all cost avoid the apocalypse! atone! abscond anchorage, advance away.

accurately abandoned, ashamed, all appear askance and ailing, ascending as abundant ash in atmospheres atrophies; adopting austerity, autocratic autism, an avid aversion, awful, absolute, an avid aversion! awful, asunder, atrocity ... awestruck all await an abyss, again, adinfinitum ... an axeman's arrival. adieu.
