Beach City

stark yet comforting
discarding my charm
go ahead and steal
all good moments from me
I'll accept whatever
fixed card you're dealing
carve my name in your arm
brush a canvas
with my gaping smile
you're in the backhouse
waiting
hands beneath your cotton
enter muddy waters
a big birdcage of wire
asbestos wood
and that incessant desire

abominate my heart
abominate my heart
abominate my heart
abominate my heart
abominate my heart

beach city to beach city we had to part
