the drama of a lava lamp

i am unborn again
without words again
living in the language of heat
trippin’ in 42 degrees
archangels down my throat again
a globe within my palm
cross-legged on my tongue again
please do me no harm
chimaeras in my hair again
bloodletting down the sink again
i felt him inside me, i dreamt it in my sleep
his hand upon my face + his chest under my cheek
we got the drama
the drama of a lava lamp
i hold myself as a lover
slap my own ass
look in my own eyes
this is my life
this is a scream
cathartic scream of love
we got the drama
the drama of a lava lamp

i've got you in my fantasies, oh yeah
in the green room backstage is where i wanna be, oh baby
so don't tell me no, coz I'm saying yeah, let's go get outta here
front row at the show with the wind in my hair, singing yeah
forbidden, forbidden, forbidden fruit
i bit it, i bit it, what am i gonna do?
forbidden, forbidden, forbidden fruit
i bit it, i bit it, whatcha gonna do?
uh oh, i feel it in my mouth
uh oh, now we're heading south
uh oh, i'm losing control
it's time to let go
coz girls like the boys
and boys like the girls
and boys like boys too
and girls like the girls
and some just love the world
so, whatcha gonna do?
i got you in my make-believe land, oh man
screaming your name, saying i'm with the band
i'm with the band, i'm your biggest fan
i'll be your groupie, you'll be my man
so give me your hand, give me your hand
and play that guitar as hard as you can
like damn

whitetails

i saw him leaving at 2 am on a tuesday
thief of my heart, backing down the driveway
and you know him, wearing his akubra down the lane
and when it's dark, i hear his voice once again
& the manuscript got lost among the ferns
& the violins cried for the driver
& the car was wrapped around the lamppost
& he'd become flowers made of bones
i love you like the forest in the rain
we all depart, that's what the soothsayers say
& you know me, you know that i'm deranged
but i'm just a kid with thorns all in my veins
& the heart within was laughing fit to burst
& the howling wind was dancing all up on the hearse
& the spell she cast was never meant to be a curse
& when you say it's okay, i know it fucking hurts
sometimes when the night falls, i am gripped by a pair of velveteen gloves
they hold my ears, my mouth, my arms, everything that you can touch
i see you on the pavement, chatting
our eyes lock and load
you come to me, you touch the lump in my throat
and say
that's where the whitetails will lay their eggs
i know you tried your best, you tried your best
that's where the whitetails will lay their eggs
we all tried our best, i tried my best
& the heart within was laughing fit to burst
& the howling wind was dancing all up on the hearse
& the spell she cast was never meant to be a curse
& when you say it's okay, i know it fucking hurts
it hurts

i've been rotting my teeth
i've been smoking my dreams
through a hollowed apple
down by the drains
but I can't get no sleep
coz these gloves velveteen
hold me like a puppet by my mane
swing me, swing me
make me dance
i've never seen the jungle but i hope i get a chance
bring me, bring me
back to life
with the rhino, the tiger, & the emerald dragonfly
before we die
this is our planet that we all inhabit
let's save ourselves tonight
there's a portrait i've seen
of the anthropocene
whose maw would like to swallow all that remains
but the lion in me
has a different belief
she says we have the power to sustain
swing me, swing me
make me dance
i've never seen the coral but i hope i get a chance
bring me, bring me
back to life
with the condor, the curlew, and the metalmark butterfly
before we die
this is our planet that we all inhabit
let's look within tonight
i saw us in a handprint made of ochre and charcoal
i found you in an ibex painted on a cave wall
and i swear to god, my heart flares with love
when i sit under a tree
coz there's nothing else in the world like
fresh air to breathe
swing me, swing me
make me dance
i've never seen the arctic but i love that there's life over there
bring me, bring me
a new kind of life
with the leopard, the turtle, and the bell magpie
this is our planet that we all inhabit
let's save her tonight

what if we kissed in the state of disaster?
take the mask off, let me see your laughter
stroke her cheek, c'mon ya lucky bastard
now's your chance
don't let it pass ya
i don't wanna be your homework
i don't wanna be your chore
i'm a sucker for love in all its forms
wish i could be your artwork
paint me with your stardust
light up the sky until the dawn
c'mon
won't you come with me?
in my spaceship, we'll be free
(want you to kiss me like the moon does)
won't you fly with me?
we could ride all night, baby
(can you feel it like the big muff?)
want you to kiss me like the moon does
can't you feel it like the big muff?
plug in, then you turn the fuzz up
our love is ready to rock
won't you kiss me like the moon does?
won't you kiss me just coz?
making love like making music, making music for the gods
& i'm lovin' how you do it coz you do it for the love
i drink too much whiskey
i fall in love too quickly (just like that)
baby, baby
sometimes too much is just right
omggggggg

born under a full moon,
perfumed by jasmine & roses,
this long-legged
damsel
is a one helluva hell raiser.
she's a librettist,
a space dust sorceress,
with love on her hands and blood in her heart.
