Taxidermist, Taxidermist

Dislocation
Pushy persuasion
Ligament and bone
Ligament and bone

Crystal structures
Defects and blunders
Once turning
All my minerals to stone
Stone

And so I reintroduce
Me to myself
"How do you do?" I say
"I've heard such lovely things about
Who you are and where you've been, but
Be in me again, yes back in me again."

Willow, will-oh-wilderness, my wilderness
Dark and ambiguous, will you tangle me in?

Lie oh, lie-oh-lioness, my lioness
Sharp and ambivalent, won't you lie on my skins?

Taxi, taxidermist, taxidermist
Sopping ripe intentionist, oh I am intent
On paying attention again to my own cracked
Compass, steady-handed

Semantic satiation
Where I can say your name
Over and over
'Til it means nothing

A deliberate extinction
Of everything I know I was
Never meant to know
Know about you

But you are a fawn
With such secrets
And I have been fond and
Keen on your meekness

I've bled dry for your arms and
Longed to
Gnaw on your neck
Fawning over it

My love, oh oh oh
My sweet love whom I am yet
To unravel with:

One night lie
On my pulse, tap
The beat of my heart out on your clavicle

One day we shall be enraptured, sweet enrapture
Ooh

What anticipation and how masterful:
You can show me I'm here in this world tall
And truly true
Meeting myself before I meet you
