lyrics

You’re down begging the dust
To eclipse your love
When the light is too loud to look upon.
You got a swallow-tail tongue,
And a heart of worms,
Pathway palms and crown of wicked corona!

Wouldn’t you like rococo eyes?
The citrus of moments impossible glazes our lips.
Tell slapdash & strawberry mischief to spatter
Our horrible memories, gobble our weakness,
And spit out the pips

Like they’re trifling as the faithful were,
Dismantled in drenched inflorescence.
(Some folx love and some deserve
When violets come to drink our essence!)

You’ve gotten gooseflesh soft
To shudder under the umbra—
The kiss of no return,
The crown of wicked corona!

They caught you gawking at magnolias
And called you silly women.
They hung crinolines from the rafters,
You imagined prima donnas in ‘em.

Caught you flushing, called you scummy--
It just made you want a pond to swim in,
Rich with sludge of tumbled garnets,
Where the water snakes are gentlemen.

Let’s get Fancy like the vicious young
In crooked-gentle languor.
Go powder up and don a ruff
That complements your anger.

You’re worth the blush of waxwing,
Even bashful in your rarity.
Toss your pauper’s baubles
While mosaic tiles die to crack
The monochrome containment of austerity.

Go slink beyond experience
And peacock at your enemies!

Swallow the salt. Cling to the mud.
Fall in the light. Turn belly-up.
Eyes on your shoulders, spines on your spine,
Find you what finery gets you to fine.

Are we in poppies
Or pop-a-possibilities?…
