My childhood was velvet The wooden chair dug into my skin The priest recited,” This is my body” “This is my blood” And the wooden chair digs into the veins of my legs My blood. His childhood was black satin It wraps his present day His fluid body Copies the fluidity of satin Melancholy We are raised by fabric And the priest says, “This is my body” “This is my blood.”

My childhood was velvet
My childhood was velvet The wooden chair dug into my skin The priest recited,” This is my body” “This is my blood” And the wooden chair digs into the veins of my legs My blood. His childhood was black satin It wraps his present day His fluid body Copies the fluidity of satin Melancholy We are raised by fabric And the priest says, “This is my body” “This is my blood.”
