Oxbow
Sweetheart
Crawling in cruelty
I take my delight
In perpetuity
And lick my lips
Red and raw
When you say
As you want to say to me
Mercy

I'll make sure
You get as much
As I got

In deep shade blue
Your fright
Drives a sense of longing
Through me
That is hard to explain
And I cinch until you dream
And I wake you screaming
And everything is never all right
And night lasts until I sleep
Wish your eyes not on me
Thinking kill him or flee
Kill him or flee
But you do neither
In the ether
Of your desire

And I sling the switch
Until my arm gets tired
And you cry that you love me
Like God
And like God
I say whatever it is
You want to hear
Whatever it is
That brought you here
Nearer to me
Right next to me
