My malaise was molten metal
Twisting into golden petals
Kiss me softly like a sparrow
Suck my soul like mellow marrow
Your glow, yellower than yarrow
Burns me like a stinging nettle
Oh what a harrowing ordeal
To have a brain and have to feel
Love and pain and fear and sorrow
Buried below freezing barrows
Bellows billowed blazing arrows
Blowing birds in noisy kettles
You send my signal through your pedals
Sad sediment slowly settles
Behind your gray eyes so cold and narrow
Steal what you cannot borrow
Soon today will be tomorrow
Throw away whatever is not real
