An Affair With Isolation

Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a black-heath cell
Extinguishing the fires in a private hell
Provoking the heartache to renew the licence
of a bleeding heart poet in a fragile capsule
propping up the crust in the glitter conscience
wrapped in the christening shawl of a hangover
and baptized in tears from the real

lyrics are by Fish from the song Fugazi by the band Marillion...that's ur prompt.


A witness to a slumping economy, I am. A gadget slave to Republican rule as I work two jobs to earn my occasional amusements. No time to pen friends but I would love to read your entries and judge. God bless you all and don't forget to vote for the black man.

      yes...i really only like them with Fish...saw them in new york city after he left the band around 1988...left after the third song...Fish solo is good but those first 4 Marillion albums are among my all-time faves
