jewels from the pavement
rises from the road within you

in the wreck
the breeze blows
and myriad hues shoot out the neck

angels, wings, and flight
wait for you in the golden light
winding down the mountainside tonight

creeping through the trees
a beast has come
to rape you upon

my knees

I hope they can pull the metal from your spine
drill little holes to fill up with irons
you know I sleep to kiss you again
you know I sleep

on my knees
