Fire and Steel and Stardust

Eyes of fire and steel A heart full The rhythm going numb A boy cries a year younger Beside me And a year younger Than I was - Except me, It is cruel for any body To feel the longing Or the falling - Down - the rabbit hole Into a field of prairie smoke I'm in a field of prairie smoke - And it's velvet, it's lavender sweet In my dreams, Your teeth are made of rubber And when we kiss, they dissolve Like jelly onto hot - my tongue is hot It’s ok for me to feel it Because I am made of fire And steel and all the stardust That was taken by the void Too early Sucked into a void Too early
