A Coin On The Tongue

Say hello to the end & its big fucking jack-o-lantern grin
Stay (how long) 'til the end & dilute the blood beneath my skin

Blackened nails & acumen
Lacerated fists full of arrowheads
Arid bones & hollow men
Lie down on marrow beds

Say hello to the end & its open hand to pull you in
Stay (how long) 'til the end beckons furlough floes to melt again
