I took Death out to dinner last night, dressed up in my favorite costume. Dripping diamonds and champagne tear-ducts-- I clogged my pores with soggy make-up. We wined and dined and wore out our shoes-- I told him my secrets He nodded and listened. We shuffled down side-streets and looked into mirrors-- I shivered in darkness He drew me in nearer. His body a bone-yard Lovely but broken-- I heard his soft breath I felt fingers stroking. But crawling back homeward Aching and tired-- We parted by day-fall I watched him shrink inward. With farewell promises to meet again soon-- I swallowed the sunrise, I cursed out the moon.

The Dinner
I took Death out to dinner last night, dressed up in my favorite costume. Dripping diamonds and champagne tear-ducts-- I clogged my pores with soggy make-up. We wined and dined and wore out our shoes-- I told him my secrets He nodded and listened. We shuffled down side-streets and looked into mirrors-- I shivered in darkness He drew me in nearer. His body a bone-yard Lovely but broken-- I heard his soft breath I felt fingers stroking. But crawling back homeward Aching and tired-- We parted by day-fall I watched him shrink inward. With farewell promises to meet again soon-- I swallowed the sunrise, I cursed out the moon.
