Silver lipstick smear martini rim
Blurred out of focus 4:30 am
Coming down on the other side tonight
Off the grid and strobing
Red and blue and picture slew and
Black and white and on and off and on and off
Tiny fragments of ash collapse.
Your filtered stain is on my hands
Your smell invades my empty head
And takes my hand
Super nova heat explodes as muscles clench
And I unload
Cigarette embers glow through our slumbers
Low and slow and honey sweet and
Here I go and honey sweet and here I go
Fruit of passion fruit denied
I want to shoot my plug inside
And then I’ll slide, elide and fall away
Slowly breaking the barrier of sound
And everything comes spinning twisting
Looping stumbling tripping falling down
Never sleep, but always dream
But there’s a catch
It’s a burning match
