furious fire

furious fire
flowering wire
you bring her to your mouth
you bring her to your mouth and then retire
her unemployed heart's for hire
she's signed your silent auction
and she wants to be the buyer

you need her in your fingers
tame her quiet wars
chest pressed gainst her ribcage
explore the light of her open doors

shadows swarm the lampshade
blood and breath collide
offer to her altar
death and life walk side by side

the opportunity to feel rich
comes from the vacancy of being poor

the arrow attacks
overlap of spine and gap
in the refuge of your love
i win my losses back
climb in the tower
where the brain rejects its fact

shadows swarm the lamp shade
blood and breath collide
what's the point in life here
without something good by your side
