We were truffle dogs
prize-winning lives
sniffing for gold
mining for diamonds
then we were fireflies
attracted to light
burning our wings
volunteer firefighters
You’re no good for me
but I adore
your graceful way of hiding
I’m no good for you
but you fall for
my quiet abiding
We keep these bodies in the closet
bodies in the water
bodies on the floor
on the bed
up against the door
your body in my head
We are shingleback lizards
living alone
together through winter
helter-skelter in order
A silence that keeps us
at this side of the doorstep
cause god only knows
what we’d do without
bodies in the closet (you’re no good for me)
bodies in the water
bodies on the bed (you’re no good for me)
on the floor
up against the door
your body in my head (you’re no good for me)
We are the worst of all lovers
except for all the others
except for all the others
