Give me the dark, warm and buttery thick
Give me whiskey in a glass, big chunks of ice
Give me a snare and kick drum, and two sticks to fuse the gaps
Give me palm trees at dusk, and a place from which to hear them
Give me bloody death by arrows and knives and dogs gnashing teeth
Give me Lou Reed’s guitar solo in What Goes On for eternity
Give me that feel, fingers through hair, breath on my neck, sun on my back
Give me the sea and her smell, and skin taut from salt and wind
Give me permanence and control and the eye of the storm
Give me the summer sun, the winter moon, the lion and the snake
Give me room for I am a continent, massive as the oceans
Give me belly laughs as my navel is a tectonic plate
Give me solace as Godzilla is my sweet redheaded stepchild who eats Chinas at Teatime and farts earthquakes
Give me my arteries, worm holes to the Beginning of Time, through which flow T-Rex-sized hemoglobin to my heart, the mother of all blackholes, which gave birth to the Dark.
Give me love, but as a piece of art, behind glass, safe for posterity
Give me no thing more, cause I’m empty save for the light and the dark
Give me peace, for I am the War Against Reality.
