The Luxury of Tears
In a phallic,
stone tower
we rise
and fly or stand knee-deep in water
Skin is
smooth and damp
every time
he crosses them
And there
are bones in bed with that child,
the figure
behind the glass,
and me
in his mouth
The man
has come and gone,
aroused
my photographic memory
Orphan
sons and his raw hands
(were slammed
in his face)
Slammed
in his face
Like fire
under whores
insect,
smiling eyes project rain
Blaze against
his teeth
(blaze
against his teeth)
Blaze against
his teeth
(blaze
against his teeth)
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
Oh devils
must know the luxury of tears
Changing
his shape, he raises his eyes,
eyes masked
with green
Threw out
his arms, pulled open the door
a moist,
sour tongue down the silver screen
down the
silver screen
Usher in
the bleak years
through
his yawning neck
I undress
in his throat,
a passion
for dust
(was slammed
in his face)
Pull them
down by the wings
a rose
from my ribs
stole back
up the stairs
And laughed
in his face
(and laughed
in his face)
Laughed
in his face
(laughed
in his face)
laughed
in his face
(laughed
in his face)
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
Oh devils
must know the luxury of tears
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of, devils of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of, devils of snow
The luxury
of tears
devils
of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of, devils of snow
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
spinning
devils of snow
devils of,
devils of, devils of, devils of, devils of snow
Oh devils
of snow
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears
Oh devils
Oh devils
of snow
The luxury
of tears burned my fingers,
devils
of, devils of, devils of, devils of snow
Oh devils
of snow
The luxury
of tears
The luxury
of tears
