The steady red hum
[Verse]
It demands to be seen
The bites of your apple
To the color of his neck when you breathe on it
It demands to be felt
In the ribs where it weighs
And in the stomach where it aches
But most of all it demands to be heard
In the cautious ways we say "I love you"
To when our bodies bind
And the humming, like a patient red dot
Vibrates
And the bites of your apple become binges in the kitchen
And our nurturеd necks becomes rеlapses in the dark
And you spin her, as fast as you found it
The lining in your stomach lurches
And still the river runs red
And you consume enough borrowed time
Between you and the inevitable void
Until there is nothing left
Nothing
Just steady humming
