dead man walking

[wytchcroft]

could have been that
dead man walking
turning to gold
shaking loose
that Lazarus lump

turning to gold
could have been that
new world, new planet
some plateau
some time

could have been that
sunrise and the cities
on a hot wave of neon
somewhere strange

electrical oceans
in which we bathe

like a dream
science fiction
dead man walking
with hands and rays
drifting into the future
on the back of the days

these hands
held their promise
could have been that
restless amazed.

I really like this one. I love that 5th stanza most of all. Really well done.
