amphetamine annie-dog

has her leash and a face

her velvet spleen her shackle spine

her diamond curse

it comes with mine



a vessel she

for violent I

confession arms a wake

mine, mine you were always mine

possessed by my taste



and below the angel dog

combs her hair and sings her psalms

the bombs go off

she doesn't notice

it all goes wrong

she sets things tragic

she is venus

she is mars

she's electric

and the struggle of



upon my face we leave no trace

but in her stomach mercury aged



she holds the blood

she carves the knives

she digs the wives in our babies



amphetamine annie-dog

pulls her trash

and her stories

from place to place

and bed to bed

gives of herself and the magnet head



another floor another ceiling

counting stairs with double meanings



is it wrong to be swallowed whole

to disappear in her

to give her the priceless peace

of giving up control



we tumble out into the streets

and annie-dog she drags her leash

pretty face

ugly mouth

bitter bred and so released



and by the no

and by the yes

annie goes if you couldn't guess



a simple man

a sycophant

her elephant with the laughing call

she wants clean sheets

and fresh flowers

and dental shots

and the hong kong glue



amphetamine annie-dog

has her leash and a face
