I don’t like the way you keep circling. I’m dry. My legs clamped shut. Yes. No. But come tomorrow. Into me while I’m sleeping. When the sun’s behind you——you are tall and dark. I am crying. I want you to fuck me crying.
A flock of canaries cruising south. The world’s glowing. The song of one shot-down glowing. Lifting us up. And I can feel you scratching: silver & gold, bronze, pewter, porcelain, like days gone by, Once Upon a Time, etc, etc. A giant, crawling beauty. I’ve spent my life in it. Hold my hand. Hold it.

I like this piece a lot. The sense of immediacy from the staccato sentences works well, and I like the way you use the imagery at the start of the second verse to a powerful effect.
