On The Night My Love Broke Through

On the night that my love broke through
 On the night that my love broke through
 Revelations that came unglued
 On the night that my love broke through
 Cell doors were opened
 Guards stepped out the way
 Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay
 Flowers long since dead
 Stiffened at the neck
 Colors came back in green and yellow and in red
 Unemployed cowboy
 Staggered on Fairfax
 Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back
 A copy of Bukowski
 At the bottom of the stack
 Got pickup by some dropout who read it front to back
 Shoving off the death hand of his past
 Ants were crawling out of
 Grimy bathtub drains
 Janitor was laughing, he had finally gone insane
 City buses swerving
 Arriving right on time
 Vending machines were selling glasses of white wine by the dime
 Streetlights got a burst of
 Electricity
 Sparks danced across windshields like a grand finale
 Metal detector's beeping
 Sound was deafening
 Everywhere bearded men dug up wedding rings
 We all stopped to listen to him sing
 On the night when my love broke through
 On the night when my love broke through
 Revelations that came unglued
 On the night when my love broke through
 On the night
 On the night
 On the night
 On the night
