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
