Let Me Nurse You, Honey

from Silver Backed Bream by Robh Hokum

/

lyrics

Your eyes:
clear and calm:
a hawk dropping down,
without
her wings spread

Somewhere
within your stripes;
the weathered lust for life
awaits
my purpose

Lay down
Lay low
Open the fist
that coiled years ago

Darling let me

Wash
your wounds
and frighten off
the men who want to destroy you
Honey
let me get close
so I can untie the weights they strung you to

Remember the rocks?
Do you remember the kelp
you said
looked like
angels?

Well, girl,
I’ll take you back.
We’ll jump into the black
waters
and
sink

Sway free
Sway free
Look around you;
I’ll never let you go.
You’ll see

Lay down
Lay low
Open the fist
that coiled years ago
