The video girl slurs her words
Her ears tame the cages around and
The earth has slowed down too
Into a drooling mad magnetic
Circle of reference and reserves
But somehow suddenly a line was drawn
In the sand, it says cheetah
But the shotgun says “leave her”

I need to leave this chair here and
Put a little letter in its sleeve to
Let the next soul search through the leaves
For the caterpillar that has begun to change
Her small eyes  from blue to black
And I’m not going to go back home
Ever again as long as the tomb
Is sealed and the cocoon has healed or
Seen for sure the honey that drips slowly
Off of and on the off and on pretty lights

The pain and shame of saying the same thing
Is the same thing that you just said after I said
The exact same thing to you

How absurd you can be in the library or
In the North woods when you’re down
There by yourself, by yourself
It is almost certain that she’ll never be seen
By those with green eyes or the black eyes
That have been given away again by wicked time

“Stop repeating yourself!’
“They are ******* tired of hearing your *******.”

******* foolish Taurus tearing out the loving souls
Of those poor mortal men and all of the others that try and
Get close to him

So little girl with the violent eyes, take the time
To breathe the fire out from your lungs
Sit still and listen closely to these words
That seem to drip ever so slowly off of my tongue

This is just too new to know exactly when the two new hearts will let love grow.
