Elegy from the Erasers


Unknown lies  /  Sad deceit
Libido turns  /  Platonic love
Your burns  /  The dove
Your pink legs next to my eyes  /  Bites from bed bugs in the fleet

The Crow echoes my ears  /  Arching at the Bat's tongue
Change and loss are my fears  /  Love's confusion at young
Stare at your profile  /  Everything here sears cold
No smirk or slight smile  /  You're there with no fold

Watch, stare, Tall Boy stun  /  Chat, talk, Lizard scales
Months pass by like a tool  /  Months go in Winter's Spring
Your arms in front of your gun  /  You're freezing, lacking details
Angelic in cold after pool  /  Nothing covers your skin from string

Run in my dreams  /  Dreams in the grave
Fly in my games  /  Games in the trash
Swim in the streams  /  Streams in your trave
Trapped in your names  /  Names in my thrash

We do everything together  /  Okay, only a little bit
"But not what we did"  /  "Knew it, though sort of"
The Lizard has a red feather  /  The Tall Boy has a green obit
You ignored my bid  /  There is no above

Goodbye, pink Crow  /  Goodbye, purple Bat
Hello, green Tall Boy  /  Hello, red Lizard
