somewhere

strange jane
strange costume, wearing a strange face
white dress, red shoes
black hair, black eyes, black heart

poor elijah
drawn on lines to disguise trembling eyes.
under a stark, black t-shirt,
lies a pink, naked heart

somewhere is a strange place
a place where the sun glares through dark gray
a place where the costume decays
and all that remains is raw gospel
