on my back i lay it down for plenty. these bones to crack. i'll scream til it's empty. i learn how to dance with the dog. she's clandestine i'll spit for a foothold.
there is a finger missing on my right hand. a butchers hand in a butterfly wing span. the sky hangs on a thread as I paint the white picket fence red.
force my hand i will sign anything. just cos i'm lonely. lay me down please. just do anything. just cos i'm lonely. sign your name i won't tell anyone.
do or die that is my question. a little seed burning in me. it's hot i must get water. racing towards the sun. do or die break or burn. i've still got so much to learn.
(And I sit here waiting and I comb my hair). Wait in line, your time will come. Says the man, he waves his gun. Carpet burns beneath my name. Your finger prints, I'll play your game.
Hang it up Sailor. Your flag ship it burns. And it burns and it burns. You took the straight road. You just missed the turn,. You're out of gas out of gas.
my baby talks in his sleep. i said wake him up. she's out on good behaviour. even daddies love won't save her. i said my prayers as i suck on the medicine jar.
i join the dots and i post date this letter. so cross out my name you'd do best to forget her. collapse of synapse she can't tie her laces. learn to forgive her forget her disgraces.
i wreck your bed. the colour is honey. your finger prints marking my wall. in red. i take a light plex. put it around your kneck. i turn it on a choking blue.
i arch my back to touch the stars. as they fall from my hand. for tommorrow the sun will rise again. a pearl a grain of sand. i let the clothes slip from my bones.
Childproof to the letter. You know the truth, you know better. The girl on the pavement, she's spinning. Don't be long, come and get her. . I need a drink, so just forget her.
black spring rising. she falls. by the way a black rainbow wispering my name. by the way i changed the locks and i'm on a plane. by the way i turned to dust washed away by rain.
birdnest hair so slips the dream. a paper boat in heavy seas. into thin air lost upon on the tidal stream. another year. but i don't care. birdnest hair.
soul catch fire. said i'm alive. i dress in red for these vows i've forsaken. better off dead cried alive awaken. soul catch fire. i push back the table they put it back on me.
