oh the air was shining 
shining like a wedding ring
barbed like 
i felt 10,000 volts
my chest was full of eels
pushing through my usual skin
i opened up new wounds
pouting, shouting 

oh love - like liquid falling
falling in cascades
oh love-lorn victims laughing
laughing in cascades 

the sun was rich
rich with a song of sin
my breath melted my words 
into strange alphabets
tormenting my tongue
pouting, shouting 

the heartbeats were echoing
echoing the revolver
emptying into my mouth 
i pulled a face from my pocket
and smiled a leper's grin
i felt somebody close 
pouting, shouting
