More in Release the Hounds

how our souls go to heave(n)

draft
what to make of timeless times
swaddled in gray maybe
says the girl of almost-love
the child of re-damned tears

i answer answers remote
couched in the reclining decline
of who the heck cares
who the heck dares say?

we are green
i think alert
but too but
and face to face

lickless unswallowed
proclaiming the eminent domain
of teen angst and every hearts
first-kiss-puckered-despair

what to make of these this times
listless listed on
unredressed wrongs
songs of the 80 somethings
we forgot?

i answer other answers
but no, no, no is not the one
you want in the bright pink dress
for this the baptism of another
baby death.

I had to read it a dozen times to get it, but it was worth it. It has relevance and a nice intrinsic beat. Your slant-meanings are exciting. The "lickless unswallowed" is unclear and did not work for me. I assume you mean something like 'immature' or 'incomplete'. It's really the only significant burp I found in this.

Songs of the 80 somethings? Hell, that's practically yesterday for me.

You are far too kind. I will ponder the lickless part. I didn't expect anyone to notice the 80s thing... that amade me feel good tha tyou got that.  I am so grateful for the effort you put in. I worried it was a case of me bein gself-absorbed to think anyone would read it like that.
