Your hair was a crow's wing on snow

And you had that hooker laugh.

On my knees, I looked down at you...

I swayed;

I was an open door in the wind.

 

My arm was bare, stretched out like a moonbeam--

Your head tilted back,

Your eyes fluttered;

My gypsy fingers came back wet.

 

Never tell a blackbird's fortune.

Never taste something too good to live without.

You held my breast in your hand like a nest,

And I fell through space

To perdition as if it were paradise.

 

My vile, beautiful, profane darling,

Never again will burning feel so sharp and fated.

If I turn to ash on the breeze,

What of that?

I saw and loved your sly smile.

I searched out and touched your scratched, bloody, gorgeous heart.

I heard and understood your hooker laugh when, light-headed and lit, I asked you please baby,

please,

Stay.
