waking or walking up
to corporal evolution
your skin stretches
clear and tuned
beaten on the drums of
the newest revolution

I can see all that's happening with you

twisting in the night to
this a capella nonsense
your nerves are strung tight
to this ancient key
they'll only sing with
our self-reliance

and I know you have been focused on me

diving or climbing down
like a gelly goblin
your blood congealing
thickening like glue
don't become an agent for
their endless squabbling

just come here and we'll know what to do

while we're
bedded and deep-headed by
a host of mere illusions
your sex organic drives
its own hard agenda
taking this all in
with sweet perfusion

I know what you want always starts with tender

I come in past
your welcome hearth
your mind stretches
as your body flows
you open your lips
to my beating heart

you smile it's been too long since - you know

you rose
you rose
you rose
