Lyrics
Out of step w/ her time and kind,
loyalty tattooed w/ the precision
of a military band marching
or the exhale of an all-forgiven.
Heartbreak broken on the long sea-road,
an old home, a new home coming,
proud prow breaking waves,
bucking all the way.
The past a burnt Illium,
no horse-hairs waving, not turned to shudders,
no son tossed from battered walls
and no revenge in the offing a€“
a clean break from the past.
I35 and the Ocean truckers
leering down like Zuez on Leto,
a cement ribbon smooth and purring
across the rain-soaked green-sea salad
at 90 miles per hour
while Octobera€™s gold synchopates
in ripples outside the window.
Nipples poking tight grey cotton,
elblow rubbings
and little sister harvesting
a knife slip bleeding
while chucking seabed oysters
for that single pearl of wisdom
gleaming white on tight-stretched neck
and black-inked high upon her ass.
Denim jacket on denim skirt
slipping legward like low-cut panties
and throaty, whispered musings
of the pineapple velvet pleasure.
Finger f*** ed from Troy to Rome
and skipping all the exits.
