lyrics

I will not give
what writhes beneath the skin
to hosts who extend an invitation
and never let me in

I will not take
all of our space
with my various monuments
of tortuous posture and avarice

I will not lend generosity
to any rage unclaimed or kidnapped sympathy
I will endure every sting
as long as I can taste the honey

sluggish as the
temperature drops
nothing is as sweet as the fall
to be redeemed
to recreate it all

all that’s left
is a strange cigarette
in my antique coin ashtray
and a rose perfume
I can’t fully place

I gave in to giving it all
it was
too much
for you to take

you took it all anyway

I still have my cowhide rug
mounted skulls and a trusted knife
it’s time to decide
to sever ties or carve out more time

for melodies or effigies
fashioned with fluttering hands
decisions whittled beyond recognition
a splintered perch for the fingers to land

I gave in to giving it all
it was
too much
for you to take

you took it all anyway

the few shared things that I have kept
may appear to be meaningless
so often, I wish they were

we can choose what to keep
but I want every thing
to mean something

now I keep bees and their honey
in a jar, darkening,
it’s mine when I’m ready

you can’t take that from me
