lyrics

Candied Date With an Almond
I remove pit, they remove stem.
I tell my lover to insert his almond
And together we bite it to the ground.
Pickled date replaces our trust.
Candied date is a door, a ghost.
I forgot who she was, what she smelled like,
How she would stroke her wrinkles
In the moonlight.
My lover tells me not to ‘get all worked up.’
Recklessly, he requests: ‘quit being ridiculous.’
No, this is a command, and it is relished by pickled dates and the observation that I am now becoming irrational.
Who knows the truth prune juice?
Did they not already suck you dry of youth?
And now they ask for more,
Just one more,
Fuck those plums prune. You’re chosen.
Jesus himself tugged on your ear,
Laughed as he led you to the mechanical press,
Saying in sing-song that we will see what revelations all this pain can bring.
