Crow Eat Crow

from Nodding Flowers by Matt Oleksa

lyrics

In a world made of hunger
Girl, you’re a peach and I wonder
Through the leaves bent and shaking
Will you get back the thirst you’re taking?

Skin, bones in the gut of metropolis
Ascetic superfluous – the kids call him toothache
Moon silhouetting is medium rare
Stars like buttered flies, wings smeared to the air
Figs bendin’ twigs through the grates on the balcony
Camels suck caramels, archers set the doves free
Space ‘tween the gate takes the shape of a beaker
Smoke pours out when the doors don’t keep her
Man

In a world made of hunger
You’re a peach and I wonder
Through the leaves bent and shaking
Will you get back the thirst you’re taking?

Orphans, widows barred at the border
More for the order, all for the hoarder
Trace his blood through the mud back through the ages
Man, do you think for a second papa was a native?
Badge—fools gold—feedin’ fear, feedin’ warnin’
Of bruised bones, cracked skin, soaked rags torn an’
40 on 40 silver spoons
40 candy apple lead balloons
