Hands Made of Would

Garbage spilt across the moonwalk

Rushing to the gutter

You must be the hunter

Nothing's in the bread

It's all gold and glitter

In the mourning I saw the dawn

And your face resembled the sun

Costs for coats rise with the tides

Juice from the earth

Tainted at birth

Stumps sometimes talk to me

Their knowledge is their girth

A repeating course

Paused only when we meet

The clouds spurt stars

Creatures birth creatures

But they can't be called creatures

Solid soil poured over us

In a shower of mothers

Your hands are covered in sap

Someones head is in my lap

And our fingers overlap

Poison feelings delivered by bus

In a box of tissues

Issues between the lines

Fantasy comes through the door

Holds you tight

Won't let you go

There's no money for the poor

And ain't it love?
