Slower Twin

another story drains as the famine breaks
daylight along the grain
against your warm weight
quicksand and cradlesnakes
everything you think you know is wrong
egg white fire
in a sheepish orbit
tin ears for blue screen arms

oil the string and wind the wheel
box office poison day
liberty waste a favor on
you been the slower twin all along

shone like shone like easy mothering
to come easy dead eye wrong
tin muse for watery ears
shone like shone like
slower twin slower twin
