Vampiring Again
A clean line moonlight bends a collarbone drink strung tight
Strung tight
Wheel along the artery the streetlights drift the eye-beams collide
Slow dissolve the car-chase draining gasoline shines a skin
Across the water
Barely touching now sad eyes when you're vampiring again
carry your violence light carry the moonlight seed the sleep in
Your eye the blue of the pilot light
Mask maker herat fire eater throat rice water brain perfect stray perfect stray
Dead friends shade your sad eyes when you're vampiring again by
The cold unflattering light
carry the glass in your jaw carry the flatlands in the base of your
Spine the city is rusting there
The weather never cared barely touching now spilling down the
Stairs for this time around
Tight pretend imperfection imperfection imperfection
carry your violence light carry it like a lost limb itches and aches
A second you can't forget
carry your violence light carry the mooonlight seed the sleep in
Your eye the city is rusting there
