'milk bed'

i was lying on a powdered milk bed
and my heart fought to reach my head
pounding upwards, dragged me flat on my back
exhausted on meds

i was running like a doe on a harp
my body wrapped in a candy tarp
fractured bones between strings dissolved
deserted by love

deserted by love
deserted by love

i was watching you dance in a can
thoughtful from a divan
knowing this could be the best of retirement plans
to become your band

i dug in your beard with a rake
discerning snails and snow flakes
i'll sew it by hand before morning breaks
and i burn at the stake

----------------------------------

'cama de leche'

estaba echado sobre una cama de leche en polvo
y mi corazón luchaba por alcanzar mi cabeza
latiendo hacia arriba, me arrastraba boca arriba
exhausto y medicado

estaba corriendo como una liebre sobre un arpa
mi cuerpo envuelto en una lona de caramelo
los huesos fracturados se disolvieron entre las cuerdas
abandonado por el amor

abandonado por el amor
abandonado por el amor

estaba mirando como bailabas dentro de una lata
pensativo desde un diván
sabiendo que este podría ser el mejor de los planes de retiro
convertirme en tu banda

escarbé en tu barba con un rastrillo
divisando caracoles y copos de nieve
la coseré a mano antes de que llegue la mañana
y yo arda en la hoguera
