ROSES ON THE GREEN

The smudge of a memory

out on the lawn...

 

The regal & wicked;

Rooster & Swan...

 

The heartbeat of money...

The bloodstain...

The sheen...

 

Murderous roses

out there on the green.

 

The boy's name was Dwayne,

and a jockstrap he wore...

 

And he pulled me down

to the soft jungle floor...

 

And we blushed electric

as one we became...

 

In the forest of dreams

we set our lives aflame.
