But let's talk about you for a minute with the vomit in your gullet From a half bottle of vodka that we'd stolen from the optic In the backseat in your car because it wasn't safe to start it "You're far too fucked to drive", were the words that you imparted
And the water undressed the clothes I tied to the contours of your body And the dead grass stuck to fibers from us rolling in the lay-by We're passed to dog hair blankets that protected the backseat covers And a crucifix was hung from rear view mirror by your mother
I'm leaving my body to science, not medical but physics Drag my corpse to the airport and lay me limp on the left wing Drop me at the highest point And trace a line around the dent I leave in the ground That'll be the initial of the one you'll marry, now I'm not around I flew for seven hours, the sky didn't want it back
I wake from sleep, my head in your shoulder, wet against the window The frost had formed and melted, soaked me right through to my collarbone
