" To give yourself over to another body
That’s all you want really,
To be out of your own and consumed by another.
To swim inside the skin of your lover...
Not have to break
Not have to think
But you can’t live in love
And salt waters no drink.
We’re dying of thirst so we
feast on each other.
The sea is still our violent mother
The blood round here pours down
Like water, each wave a lamb
Led to the slaughter.
And like children that she just can’t teach
We break, and break, and break
And break ourselves upon the beach... "
