Suntan

Eyes leaned out the skull
Stare glossed over me
Name dissolving to
Grit between the teeth

Should have been a winning smile
Face pulled back against the wind
Should have been a blushing flower
Brimming at the thought of you

So let suffuse the rot
I throw myself against the burning hill
To let suffuse the rot
Shoulders glisten candy in the sun

"Starving out your share"
Says the palm against your palm and
"Starving out your share"
Says the mouth against your mouth

As the center is collapsing
As the center is collapsing
As the center is collapsing
As the center is collapsing on you

I never miss a suntan
Baby sunbather
Held myself aloft
Nothings passed for air

Should have been aliveness
High enough to forget
Should have been easier to leave you there

On exiting the dream
Your breath upon the glass evaporates
On exiting the dream
You turn toward the lens delivering

"Starving out your share"
With your palm against my palm and
"Starving out your share"
With your mouth against my mouth

As the center is collapsing
As the center is collapsing
As the center is collapsing
As the center is collapsing on me

The kind you like
I got that mandible
Slack-jawed pelican
Empty, I have nothing for you

Eat yourself and worry not worry not
For the lack of want
Worry not worry not
For the lack of hurting
Worry not worry not
It's not your fault it wasn't enough
