Wolves And Matchboxes
Awake from the same dream
You told me about
The one where you die
At Calin Market.
You drip lipstick on your skeleton
And we embrace
Under a garden of stars
Where the wolves wait
For me to leave
Then rip you to pieces.
Why do you blame me
For loss of flesh?
If not for the price
Of Asian matchboxes
I'd be eaten too.
Awake from that dream
Again and I'm not there
To blame.
Who do you see now
In the faces of wolves
Consuming you
As you sleep?
