The Human Ruins of Romanticism
Lu Quade
White paint on ochre walls,
it's so romantic.
Cemetery's now on the stomping ground,
it's so romantic, so romantic.
To mourn the lack of a lack you need
to claim this place.
You need to cover yourself in the soil,
build a house out of this bloody mud.
And live and weep and work and writhe and play among the human ruins of romanticism.
