Sunbather

I held my breath and drove Through a maze of wealthy homes And I watched how green the trees were And I watched how green the trees were And I watched the steep walkways And the white fences I gripped the wheel I gripped the wheel I gripped the wheel I gripped the wheel I sweated against the leather I sweated against the leather I watched the dogs Twist through the wealthy garden I watched the dogs Twist through the wealthy garden I watched the dogs I watched you lay on a towel In grass that exceeded The height of your legs I gazed into reflective eyes I cried against an ocean of light An ocean of light An ocean of light Crippled by the cushion I sank into sheets Frozen by rose pedal toes My back shivered For your Pressed, granite nails Dishonest and ugly Through the space In my teeth Break bones down to yellow And crush gums into blood The hardest part For the weak Was stroking Your fingers With rings full Of teeth The hardest part For the weak Was stroking Your fingers With rings full Of teeth Stroking Your fingers With rings full Of teeth It's 5 a.m. And my heart Flourishes At each passing moment Always and forever Always and forever It's 5 a.m. And my heart Flourishes At each passing moment Always and forever Always and forever Always and forever Always and forever
