lyrics

Where there exists a query of intent,
assumption of curiosity must be made:
Let doubt, and any of its kin,
parade all grievances here and now,
turbulent disillusion having been
overplayed by
an overthinking brain. I have
prayed in my own way,
own tongue, to be content
with scarcity. This promise of
a trade - this promise of plenty -
has my ribs splayed from spine:
broken eagle bliss. What I meant
is that you have me,
just me, arrayed in just my skin,
which is my hide,
a shade of grey too light
for chalk upon cement to show
a contrast. This is
no tirade: I love
the way your face
rests, love displayed
on bones my kiss will clothe
as raiment.
