There she goes, my lover With boots to fit the devil’s hooves And dirt to suck beneath her shoes I thought maybe I should Maybe I should taste it
She reminds me of a king’s daughter, a lioness
And I am the wells of disappointment That rotten whale that kissed the shores I am all that was misgiven A coming back A crawl on all fourth
I caress this concrete venous Yet she gives me nothing back Her sympathy will scratch my skin Her signature – my heart’s cement
How could it leave me? When did it cross the stepping stone?
So I wished I was the sidewalks of berlin Where all these women, tall and thin Walk every day In the lanes Of love
I swear to god the girl was blind But had these most insightful eyes They were drifting apart from me And all the world was hidden from our sight
Every time you leave me ends with blood on my coat A detective’s taking notes I am the crime scene you’re the chalk Yes you are everything, that I will never know A siren’s shining by the sirens glow
Shivering spines Through supper time Slowly I’ve become the earth
Bohemian behemoth You can’t be more wrong All evil is mine The deviant poet And as others before me I am being drawn To the filth of the city The last plane of hell And I can’t see a devil But I think I saw god Hidden in an ally’s can Patiently waiting To be born Again
How could it leave me? When did it cross the stepping stone?
Neighbors said goodbye But I’ve seen nothing in their eyes The kind of nothing I have longed for Envious, I said farewell
