lyrics

It’s structure is like marble,
a pale cool white-
her profile is magnificent,
majestic, regal, royal
but the teeth are crooked,
slanted, skew-wise, at all angles,
yellowed and malformed
and reeking of infection.

But the hair is golden
and full of curls and tresses
bronze luminescence-
on each truculent curve,
spider’s hair and tingling pubescence.

But amongst the crevasses are dripping
a vile decay-
moss-eaten fecundity,
malformations in regular ridges,
fangs of shadow-eaten gold.

But the eyes are beady and black-
as to whom they follow,
it can’t be estimated,
but that they glare magnificently in the moonlight.

But he is ever a sun
and she a moon-
but to him is the failing starlight
and to her the singular chasm.

And the fathoms of the deep
and a deep ray is permitted
and entrails snake through silver clouds
as writhing, we gnaw
on curvilinear foldings.

Between the gnashing of teeth
and in the crushing of teeth
as in her formative years-
amongst the writhing of snakes
and the persistence of tears
rises the terrible sun
with decaying luminescence
like a corpse in derelict heat
and breath of onions and earth
swallows the sky
and I.
