oh, my body, what do you mean
is the blood in my dreams
the blood on these sheets
is it a little warning
a portrait of what i can’t
control
oh, my mother, what do you see
in the late anthropocene
all the girls dance to move their bodies
feet just to find
how little a space they take
in time
but it’s fast
goes round
can we even try
to cut it loose
oh, my lover, i’m sorry for the solipsistic moods
i'm really not mad at you, i’m just searching for the root
of why i look up at the ceiling
head up, young buck, where’s the feeling
here, here
but it’s fast
goes round
can we even try
to cut it loose
only sixteen, at the movies, in an old french city
and the world is ending on a big screen
no blood in the moon, just a wave crashing
takes the mother, the lover and the body
and it’s my mother, my lover and my body
but she’s the mother, the lover and the body too
