lyrics

LYRICS:

She sends me music:
black bruises on a body of water.
The boys from the fountain
vanish in the butter of the sun.

Touch my black patches:
rattling a marble in a jar.
My buried angel
vibrates in a tower of rain.

I am jumping on a woman's hand.

The whirlpools warming;
My cervix is turning like a clock.
The evening breaks in glassy motion.
O, the Amish churning of the world.

Her clouds are young and red as roses.
O, her python sips me down.
She dips her toe in that dirty river:
the red blood soaring to my waist.

I am jumping on a woman's hand.
