Oh Zero

Oh zero
I see you for seconds at a time
With eyes half-lidded and lips stained grey with wine
I hear you
Pushing stones up against the shore
It's time to stuff the dead leaves in a black trash bag

Handsome hands and pretty heart
Hold out your handsome hands and pretty heart

It hovered
Saw its reflection moving round
Long black wings tipped rushing from rock to sand
Then rested
There on my prickled white arm
A sliver from a wing gone electric green body long
Heart stop listen to the voice of a big zero

Handsome hands and pretty heart
Hold out your handsome hands and pretty heart
Hold out your handsome hands and pretty heart
Hold out your handsome hands
