Golden Locks

Jenny Hval
Golden locks
Dripping, melting out of me
Golden showers
The waste products of the body:
Hair and fingernail
We sit in a worn tea room drinking worn tea
Chipped China, chipped China
"You just need to get laid" He says
"Your eyes look dull, and the hair lifeless and torn"
My heart break, my hearts breaks and my mouth breaks
And opens like a clam
I say nothing but this is the day when pearls start growing
Underneath my fingernails, like under ice. Frozen
I can almost hear something
And in the night my hair slowly melts to piss:
Slowly, lock by lock
A golden shower
The body remembers:
In a distant memory
I have hair all the way down to the ground
Probably because I'm lying on the bathroom floor
But I imagine it is fastened there
To the floor boards
And I think to myself:
"This is where is come from?"
The floor is old:
Wooden, old, worn
All the walls creaking in the wind
Let's steer this ship home
Golden showers, on a sea of
Golden showers
