The Candle

I was on her body

He was on her mind

I progressed her

He possessed her

I was there every day

He was there one day

And then went away

Well, I'm gathering these splinters to make a raft someday

She gives me so little

I'm gathering these splinters to make a raft someday and sail away

But the candle, she still burns a candle

"a light", she says, "i need a light"

And it's the only light in our room tonight

And she fills her face

With bananas and plumbs

Yoghurt and crumbs

And sexual (drums her fingers, comes, numbs? )

And the vibrated ..? ..

And my dumb smile
