Revealing? What does it mean?
Shadows
Something else
Hauls me through the air
From the palace of memory
Yet not, I unpeel
The shaking tendon
The sin, the sin
Melts in the wall
The permanent smell left on our tongues
Eye, tempered into flesh
Their juice streaming
A fate no more harrowing
Then that of a firm hand
Raised skyward
Choking and eating in
Greasing the bodies
The devilish adulterers
The sin, The sin
Darling, all night
Onto the ground as we sank into the earth
And I saw life squeezed from the women
The stiff and the corrupt
Your body
The once-white sheets
Grow heavy as a lustful kiss is planted
Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive
My self dissolving, into your hands
And we rejoined with great joy
To Paradise
