hard earned after a long winter night of dreams this clarity of mind
i bet the moon finds us disgusting mouths agape and limbs frantic please behave
canned flesh hurtling down the tracks we breathe when we deserve to
touch and be gone to the words sowed in your loins
tell me of the thunders that sing a thousand songs
cross my heart and burn slow at the stake
old phonebook the pages ripe with smell and distant memories
back to pick up the dreams we left under a rock on the cold coast
a touch of salamander’s blood to bring heat back to forgotten limbs
