Slipping down railings. And balconies. With a sleepy ease I never knew. I navigate my way to you. . Indigent darkness. Thick as a dream. A liquid party underneath.
She's downtown, lies in the street. Been lying in the sheets. She's gone home, lies in the streets. Been lying in the bed through her teeth. . Stares at his sky going blind, going blind.
Along the palo duro canyon. Red river shows so may eyes. One eye squinting, shaded from the sun, shoot me. Black a oil, his hair shone. Lily white, his skin glistened.
I'm the lady. Who locks the door. I'm the lady. Who turns out the light. . Hey you, look at the dirty water. Look at him. Look at the dirty water and swim.
Don't look back. And he's your soldier. Don't look back. And he's your soldier. . That sheet metal sound next door. Is keeping me awake. Janie's eyes are open.
