| We tooth-stick Blackheart Cherries, A Q.T. chuckle gladdens, Then bank the chemist's bottle. Candlelight warms, pull-to-pieces capsules Are pips on fruit-smudge lips. Your eyes change completely - Rock roses On the face of a stream. |

| Prison Song | ||||||
| After making love To me Write luffing notes To your wife, Hum, caged bird. Rephrasing lyrics Tune evaporates In its own heat Touchless as wind. Lost now Tinkling murk for clues A trumpet-eared Miles Davis Of the sky. Time's insomnia, Rugged cell. Beat its declaration Loosing moments, Oxygen. |
