The son of sod knows


O my love you were the fizzing tease of stardust on my saucer cut wrists
O my love your eyes were binary stars in the spiral arms of my eiderdown

O my love your silence was an angry chant from an empty mouth
O my love you were my sister of mercy and I was your evil Jesus

O my love you were the short fuse in my body’s bomb
O my love your soul was gay on the dock of my eBay

O my love your blood was boiled on my Bunsen fingers
O my love you were given to me only to be given away

O my love my love was passively aggressive only towards me
O my love my love burned as hard as the piss icicle of an artic fox

O my love your love for me was shown only too clearly when
You squatted in the snow that Christmas and lost another God.
