amphetamine
annie dog
has a 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 awake
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 her face we leave no trace
but in her stomach mercury aged
she holds the blood, she carves the knives
she digs the wires in our babies
amphetamine
annie dog
pulls her trash
and her stories
from place to place
and bed to bed
gives herself
and the magnet head
another floor
another ceiling
counting stars
with double meanings
is it wrong to be swallowed whole
to disappear in her
to give to her the priceless peace of giving up control
we tumble out
into the street
and annie dog
she drags her leash
pretty face
ugly mouth
bitter bred
and so released
and by the no
and in the yes
annie goes
if you couldn't guess
a simple man
a sycophant
her elephant
with the laughing cough
she wants clean sheets
and fresh flowers
her dental shots
and the hong kong glue
amphetamine
annie dog
has her leash
and a face
