Tortoise

lyrics

Tortoise

To go up is to cool down and
up is where I am, cold blooded
last up on the mountain
lizard in defence, a reptile’s end
I’ll eat the very stones beneath
scaled feet that have ascended and
discovered our most treasured bloom
sweet lilac rosette I place
my beaked jaws to en-cave you
press against my soft palette with
horny and most loving tongue
your procreative offering
and drink the nectar there
lizard in defensibilities
most wanting
most scarce
To go up and never down.
