I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Four is Identity by (in my opinion) the greatest Punk Band ever, X-Ray Specs.
Identity
Glass reflects the scream
Crises shatter in the dark
And the lens stares back.
You can check out my other responses:
Number One is The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie.
