Winter Love

Graphic by Archie

We are soft,
when you roll me in the morning dew
holding me, shivery and hot
camomile, paper mâché 
leaves in November
we are headed underground,
this I know  
you will sweep me into 
the earth's rancid core
with no glance backwards 
at the town with its sugarcane lights
comb my eyes, sweet and light
carry my mind, my weary life
oh girl that I love
devote it all to the cause
