Smog – The Candle

I was on her body

He was on her mind

I progressed her

He possessed her

I was there every day

He was there one day

And then went away

Well, I’m gathering these splinters to make a raft someday

She gives me so little

I’m gathering these splinters to make a raft someday and sail away

But the candle, she still burns a candle

“A light”, she says, “I need a light”

And it’s the only light in our room tonight

And she fills her face

With bananas and plumbs

Yoghurt and crumbs

And sexual (drums her fingers, comes, numbs?)

And the vibrated ..?..

And my dumb smile
