cirque du soleil


brush your teeth sing Allegria while the cherry trees blossom
and there is nothing to lose
these words are dump they don't understand while
the bullet makes its way to your neck
the cherry trees blossom

images fail the right angle
here I see a piece of wounded human flesh
it looks like a flower and I am telling you
this is a flower made of human flesh
it poisons the air and you say

brush your hair cherry trees blossom sing Allegria I do—
my lover if he doesn't come he will come at midnight
with the smell of that flower in his hands
twenty four fingers each time he touches me
I have to change the clock the smell is here in
my own flesh

each time no time
keep the wheel away from your grave while the cherry trees
blossom something it's anything
and there is nothing to lose
if you don't die today you'll die tomorrow
before lunch

do you have a bag to clean after your dog?
do you have a reason for living?
