lyrics

HOPELESS GODDESS OF FIREWORKS & ROOFTOPS

Paper by paper,
a mountain of olives
nightwatch the tone-deaf
desert of prophets,
this graveyard of contracts
squinting at history.
Laughter and old friends,
on buses, in taxis,
naked and honest
and covered in chocolate,
awaiting a veinless
lover to keep us
hopeless, and helpless.
Master. Mattress.
One thousand boas.
One thousand neckties.
One thousand plazas.
One thousand sentries.
One thousand pigtails.
One thousand tethers.
One thousand TV's
turn off together.
To highways with hermits,
deep sips from puddles.
Hopeless goddess
of fireworks & rooftops.
