The Prayer Chain

Bendy Line

The Prayer Chain


Keep it to a whisper
Let me hear your blue rivers flow
my incisors are filed
I really think you are safe to let me close
Any wolf in the wild
is a natural danger
to a child so tender

I want to travel every bendy line
from your throat to your heel
I want to roll like a wheel
over flowery fields

Beg me please to claw
your summer salty warm grassy skin
should I ever hurt you badly
take your medicine, we'll make amends
drink a vial of sadness
for excruciating devotion
and maddening notion

I want to travel every bendy line
from your throat to your heel
I want to roll like a wheel
over flowery fields
