Ruby (from My Oh My AVALANCHE (2006 - out of print))

Lyrics

Her look was post-modern wench. When the buckle brown of her boot broke she came (fast as she went) to underscore the scene of a routine joke. and in a cooled window a bobcat. smoke breathed through a briar branch. Pines loosen loudly their bowties. stars pinch themselves: static smeared over a frantic sky. Cicadas parade a terrestrial whalesong. and in a cooled window a bobcat dropped from a cold front onto a tightrope act it purred and cured the afterword of aftermath and overheard tomorrow in an echo bath Ruby spills her centigrade.
