Most faul

In the land of the burning snakes

The sugar canes

The mud

beating hearts are bleeding up on the tower

Dearest darling

We stare at each other with teardrops in your eyes

The pure dark blue sea hitting the blackest cliff with such violence

That it is tearing our souls

APART

A dime at a time

The roar of a hundred meter wave could not drown your empty heart

Your long black hair in braids

of water and fireflies and green bindweed

I got along without you very well in the times of war

the sun is setting

and You always had to get way

The only lights burning now are the last prayers for the day

The pristine robes of the sisters of mercy

And those Saint Elmo’s fires you hide under your lips

Like a torch for the terrified sailor

Trembling amidst the storm

I will buy those violets for your fur

hold hands with the cowboys and wish for some drenched earth

and some lullabies

and Almond Joys

The green jade idol with a moving head and white shark eyes

Looks exactly like you did

The stone cold knife with all the tears and all the rest

my sweetheart the venomous

The treacherous wife

She did me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of loving

in her veins,

a golden Trojan horse

a game of cards

you always moved your tongue too fast

I just wanna smell your broiling breath again

And die inside you

Again

Watch the storms

Ask the hangman to hold it a little while

You know for sure than a man ain’t nothing but a man

and fire

and a crave

and some warmth

and meat
