Strange Piece from HONEYHORSE by J Holmes

Another knife tip in the water
Slowly slip into it’s bitter sway
And she might cut you up to blush
and she is destined just to strip…
Just to strip your world away

My lips are wet with ash and paper
More than a finger’s worth of dirt
My home is out here among the wires
And the smell of womanblood
The smell of womanblood on my shirt

Oh... its a Strange Piece of paradise
Tell me if I lie down with you and die
Will anybody know?
Its a Strange Piece of paradise
Theres no need to run - tell me what you’ve done
And we’ll twist it up and pound it into bone.

Keep your anchors down and your song unsung
Your candle takes me out to where he’s hung
And he still hangs like a cherry birch
No less love and no less hell
No less hell and no less worth

Oh... its a Strange Piece of paradise
Tell me if I lie down with you and die
Will anybody know?
Its a strange piece of paradise
Theres no need to run tell me what you’ve done
And we’ll twist it up and pound it into bone.
