Flesh

I'm on my own now

I'm passed my youth

But when I close my eyes

I'm still with you

And on this morning

I felt it through

Bore my heart to aid

and give everything to you

You hold my mourning

In soft tissue

You know my every part

Seeds grown and subdued

Oh my my only

I'll hold with you

Stories in flesh

That are no longer true

In the heart of night

My body laments

She touches an old fight

Again and again

Yet somewhere deeper

I find a place

Where pleasure bends to me

In skeletal embrace

And in this true form

She takes the shape

Of amniotic joy

A solemn escape

The creases of

Sunken past in skin

Make way for

The song within
