10 a.m. and I’m drunk again
Bitter cognac, sweet relief
I held your mother
Before she floated away
Sweet baby skin

Broken window latch
Your nail lash
Your warm flesh
The only way I’ll ever love
Is by force

I’m asleep in the chasm.

The only way I’ll ever love
Is by force
I run from hell through golden aloe
Everything moves so slow
When all your lovers leave you
