Night Soil

Plastic bags of shrimp spill open
Did golden apples shine, shine right back?
Chew your cheeks and spit saliva
We go, go away, shake, rattle

This soil smells like campfire smoke
Someone is looking, looking for me
Change the ring, the ring on your phone
Your ring tone was ringing in my ear

I saw the plastic fasten cotton
I saw in the pocket of the coat
I saw through the open window - stars in black water that stumble across

This song is unemotional
Forest shadows slowly creep to me
Forest officers stay away
Forest detritus loves the love seat

I disregarded cool, clear water
I was in the water, in a boat
My favorite stagnant water froze
Now the nights are hot
I sweat my rouge off
