The Promise

Oh, the rapture.
Oh, the joy.
Oh the faded love still fits and starts again.

Oh, the muscles under soft, soft skin.
Oh the helpless, the strong, the gleaming, the beaming,
the promise, the promise, the promise.

Look up again.

I promise you light.
I promise you the stars above.
I promise you plenty.
I promise you breathless love.

Oh, the cage.
Oh, the lion.
Oh, the dart.
Oh, the piercing blow.
Oh, the stolen life, the watering mouth,
Oh, the slow, slow, slow.
THE PROMISE

Light from above this table of ours.
Leave us in peace.
Leave us in pieces.

I promise you bliss.
I promise you hands held up to the sky.
I promise you fury.
I promise you inconsolable joy.
I promise you rapture.
I promise you inexplicable tears.
I promise you the world.
I promise you the world.

Oh, light from above this table of ours.
Leave us in peace.
Leave us in pieces.
