Your tongue was a serpent
A clanging of dishes
A wolf's fleece in slumber
A side eye left grinning
Your eyes were like marbles
A drip in a large pool
You're like a dead childhood pet
I'd just begun to forget
And I still followed
So keep shining that red Apple
Polished like a mirror
Keep shining that red Apple
Till I see my face so clear
You breath was like heaven
A crow's deep descending
You're Like circling carrion
And I was ground to rest your head on
Your scent was like mothballs
Into a deep closet I walked
Try on some fig leafs to be discreet in
A garden memory receded
And I still followed
So keep shining that red Apple
Polished like a mirror
Keep shining that red Apple
Till I see my face so clear
