You’re channel surfing, searching, seizing the remote

I’m lost in the sleeves of your overcoat 

The planet is unwinding, we are teleporting home

Television bender, lay your body in a moat

I’m floating, filling, flowering the empty pot

You’re spoiling the party on your friend’s dad’s yacht 

The fruit has overripened, we are feasting on the rot 

Find me in the plum pit, you within the apricot 

At Fallen Leaf, collecting every flattened stone 

You’re skipping, spinning, finishing the last of the Patrón

My hands on the piano, your hand gripping the remote

You’re feeding on the music, hear me dripping down your throat
