I am ruled by the man in the window
His thick roots ripe with unease
(My sorrowful second's echo)
Tongue's wrapped around my shivering spine
As black bleeds into white
My dissonance his delight
Oh I was built to please

And in the face of the people
Within the bone, yet without
Cherry stained lips on the fainting couch
Captive in stinging centers, a double glow
The sea and his accompanists
Droplets behind tinted bows

In the pounding theatre
Crawling among the blades
We are spirals curved in the tanager's cage
Until he presses the lightness of bone and we fall
For no one
For no one
For no one at all
