Pink

Streamwater falling Fall me down Dripping off rain and hair Fingertips melting under liquid light Many a hand does the red back take Only a sound, a choir to make Laking and sinking and single and singing Break but don't fall don't call out to me Voice in the lighted night Laughing and whistling and Goddess, that laughter! Dogs laugh alone In the night cold and gone Forget punctuation The moment is gone As fast as you can Before the door closes And you've lost the last fracture, dropped your last penny Into the mouth of the gods Oh sweetheart, my hand in your teeth I'll rip you apart! With sweetest lullabies And you'll bleed into ecstasy Without a tear to cry To fall from your broken eye I'll cut through the fluid Liken it not to the fall of the ages Open my hand The secrets are written in the skin of my palm I've the knife in my shoe For when I have to split But until that moment comes Eye on the coast Don't wait for me, I am always late
