Robert Rorabeck - The Shallow Sands

Robert Rorabeck - The Shallow Sands

Beautiful call girl like a peacock br Look at my scars br And lay down in my tomb for two hundred br Dollars and tell me how beautiful br I am- In a fugue of greasy surrender br Outside of the halos of the burger joint br While my dog howls at home br For me to return: br Make love to me the way my mother can’t br Even though we are so far away from br The mountains where the br Aspens live like anorexic china dolls: br Say that you love me, br Even though I only have one moon to give you- br And my heart is a coffin filled with grasshoppers br Who are spent into husks br And picked up by little girls along their paths br Across the shallow sands.
