We write help in invisible stars
No one will see
Until the lights go out
You are quite the little apocalypse today aren’t you
Be prepared
I learnt that
Pin and paper
In my pocket
A shiny penny
Just in case
The world can be vengeful you know
We live in a blank garage
With a red dividing line
Boom boom boom
Faster than a rocket
Off we trip to Kansas
That’s funny
It sounds the same
She giggles
Do you think I leave anything to chance
Welcome to my savage design
We can huff and puff until we lose our mind
Fuck
It's lost already
She lights a cigarette
Lies back against the pillows
Arm behind her head
Ten years disappear in one inhalation
All the tension drained
Like blood
From her stomach
You are quite the little immortal today aren’t you
Always
She says
Poking out her tongue
The town dies in black and white
The burning sun left years ago
I don't want to buy a skyscraper
But I wouldn't mind a castle
She mumbles through the cigarette
Hanging off the corner of her lip
It’s all just the shutdown of electrical activity in your brain
I’ve seen it many times before
Time ticks on the fluoxetine clock
I always thought we were troubled in a light and carefree way
Like pixie dust
She laughs
Exactly
Dematerialise
Diminish
Dismantle
Disconnect
Maybe I would like to wear a dress
Star
Syrup
Sugar
Loss
Just why are we eating an orange
At the kitchen sink
I don't know
I don’t remember anything
We look at each other and laugh
Fall through the bed
Write love in invisible stars
No one will see
Not until the lights go out.
