Lay me down in a hearseback, it's where my new best look is at. |
|
If I slit a purse or two then I can't curse if my cake is cooked and minor veins are mapped. |
|
These tits not filled with milk, these cold bones wrapped in hunger |
|
Like a bundle of sticks in a fire so slow it leaves them unburned, black and yearning. |
|
Will this new year's see my rotting hair's release? |
|
Will my new black book pull the sick from my deepest creases? |
|
-A gift from The Maccabees to mom to me, |
|
No more flier backs or receipts, using magazines for tables. |
|
A girl's down bed and corresponding naked wings unable |
|
When I felt my ribs come closing slow, a row of snakes set to strangle |
|
I am survived |
|
Lay me down in a hearseback, it's where my new best look is at. |
|
If I slit a purse or two then I can't curse if my cake is cooked and minor veins are mapped |
|
But you might find me in the white pages yet, my name is next to numbers |
|
Like someone's father's father: left listed in the book of numbers, |
