Your legs are long and sweet resting like caramel candy on a pillow of spun sugar. They shake and quiver in my dreams at the start, not end of a banquet table lined with fruits both forbidden and fair. Who will meet a hungry taveller from the dusty road and offer them refreshments? Perhaps it…

Sweet Little Lies
I planted a seed in your garden where you said plant And I watered it with my blood and tears You told me it was safe there even when I said I can’t // I saw the future unfolding before me powerless to run And I begged of you to spare me You told me…
Sawdust
