Sweet Chemistry
Rich Shapero & Orenda Fink
GENRE Feel the ship’s passing wake
See my brawling shape
As I draw near
Watch the blue arms trail
Curl and undulate—
I can taste your fear
How distant and close I can be
All that you long for floats in the space between
A lip, a tongue. Drawing close
The fluid makes a hole
Through soft tissues and bone
Inside, and now I slide
Up the back of your mind
Sneaking eyes behind your own
I can end your torment and restore
The lost heaven to which you were born
An eddy of living mercury
A thousand eyes and now you feel
What you’d nevеr guess to feel
Taste the matеd nerves’ sweet chemistry
An ancient memory
My idea of you is real
I can end your torment and restore
The lost heaven to which you were born
Would you honor those living in my streams?
Would you learn that, like men, gods have dreams?
See my brawling shape
