Together

Grit the roses through teeth

cut closed through barbed wire skin.

My darling sings to me in simpers

With lovely cadence

Carved harder and prettier,

Burned deeper and sweeter.

 

A French night with wine,

Is all it takes to dream,

And with souls on the air that hear

Music fighting a silence

filled with painted eyes,

That look to thread ice through your veins.
