One by one, rattled
and plucked
like jagged pearls
all out
all fucked
Rattling about
then tossed
like loose change
thrown out
and lost
Scattered rice
in red brine
like shattered bone
all gone
all mine
One by one, rattled
and plucked
like jagged pearls
all out
all fucked
Rattling about
then tossed
like loose change
thrown out
and lost
Scattered rice
in red brine
like shattered bone
all gone
all mine
the door clicks shut
like a cocked gun
a threat
a black tonne
dropped lead
an ugly word
the colour red
a hang rope
one heavy tread
a death bed
deepest pitch
a stabbing clack
a real bitch
a cry, a smack
and I long for you
to come back
