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
