This time it really vanished
My navel
It was used to my gazing
Liked candied nectarine in a bowl
What made me the woman I am today if not denial?
If all sins are attempts to fill voids
I intended to keep mine
What starving brought, transmutable states
I practiced to exit mine
But now you're in the other room
So I don't think that will do
This time it really vanished
My door
Flooded with luck
Tattered on the banks
Thus rendered pre-mortal, slick, black and green
Good, all the body ever does is compel you
The body compels you
But I still got my bellow, my hard-oaken bellow
Pumping 'neath the camel hair skirts
Of the dervishes whirling all around my heart
Five flaming planets orbit around our maypole
If you're a praying mantis, I'm a mayfly after the thunderstorm
No mark where I was born
If all sins are attempts to fill voids
You sinned by snuffing out mine
Your mantis gift, a head to devour
Suspended, waits to eat mine
Two points, no line
We are dead and alive
We are dead and alive
Dead and alive
Dead and alive
But to know it cost a fortune
