Dog Rose

I gave your mother's son-in-law a ride

Hidden by sheets drying on the line

Forest decaying, the stench like wine

Watching the garden with dog rose eyes

Eyes, eyes

Branches and dead leaves about your thighs

I never thought it would be alright

Killed in a dream, never tried to hide

Cracks in the floor like a cell divides

See how the mountains fill up the sky

Grease on a napkin, won't tell you why

Threadbare the T-shirt against your spine

Drop on your hand slightly alkaline

The distance between time is fortified

The reason the trees metamorphosize

Eyes, eyes

Tracing a spider across the tomb

Eight by ten feet, close the window soon

You can still find me, I haven't moved

Still in the bedroom, still in the mood

You were a stealer, that was understood

Reach for the lever and pop the hood

See how the mountains fill up the sky

Grease on a napkin, won't tell you why

Threadbare the T-shirt against your spine

Drop on your hand, slightly alkaline

The distance between time is fortified

The reason the trees metamorphosize

Eyes, eyes
