SWEAT and SQUIRM
Sweat and squirm as the touch ripens you
Dream of soft winds and cold rivers
To take away the taint of d e s i r e and the s c a r s on your face

CRY and SCREAM
Cry and scream to release the
c o m p u l s i o n in your limbs
Let each trying talon dig into f l e s h y rivulets
P r y i n g apart the muscled cage of your soul

LET it BLEED
Let it bleed onto my tongue
Each scouring droplet trailing its sweet release
Over the mounds of your swollen b r u i s e s

LISTEN to ME
Listen to me as I tell you sweet lies
Breathing softly through the bars, poisonous kisses
To your d y i n g and begging sanity

And when light recedes from the salty resevoirs of your eyes
I'll light a fire beneath your toes
And watch your flesh fry and curdle
