A Mirror in My Mouth
I'm a house of bones
Skin stretched over walls
A mirror in my mouth
Let your golden rays
Hit my frozen face
A cataract of sound
Let your honey drip
From your fingertips
O let me have your lips
Your lips of gold, of gold
Of whispering the lips, the lips, the lips
My gaze spills your blood through the body
Each drop makes a coral in the sea
My skin was forged out of seaweed
And out of spit my children grow
Out of spit my children grow
Churning in my mouth, in my mouth
