Lady Lamb the Beekeeper

Up in the Rafters
I want to love you like the monster loves a flowerdisarming as a bird flying backwardsand my heart is a pomegranateand how long have I ached for your hands on my stomach?I want to love you like the monster loves the flowerTenderlyI want to know you like the clock knows the hourI want to see you with both my eyes forwardIn the fields of rye and up in the raftersHungrilyAnd oh to know the nape of your neck;It would be the length of my whole selfTo swoon if for to stretch beneath a fleshy groundPeacefullyInto a blood red sea In the wax of a whaleMeet me down there, deep downWhere I am dark and paleThis longing I inherit, how it makes me shamefulThis armor how I wear it till I can no longerAnd all the while in your blue so sallowAs bitter as the snake that craftily crallowsOn the cracked tongue of the quake in the shadowsLetras de cancionesSilentlyI am a ribcage, I'm a sailor, I'm an arrowI am a monster with the wings of a blind sparrowAnd I want to touch you like the seed touches the soilI want to hold you like the milk holds the spoilSing to meCling to meAnd what of this cacophonous-these broken strings?And what of this, the blood red kiss, the beast in the sea?I'll hush it now and I will sing it songs to put it to sleepAnd leave it there without a care that it might know a dream.
