Deep Song

My love knows the grave all right.
Every kiss she gives some spot your mother wouldn’t kiss
shovels our future of dirt in my face, too fast, too fast, but
wicked she, her kiss shivers me and dust clouds rise
and float away.

So, the grave is coming,
says she, says she, and
so are we, and so are we!
