to spill out its guts the sand is laced with sticky glops o' shimmering
moonlight sheen upon the waves and water clogged with oil white gases steam
up from the soil chorus i squash dead fish between my toes try not to step
on any bones i turn around and i go home i slip back through my basement
door switch off all that i own below dive in my scalding wooden tub my
own beach at night electric moonlight there will always be a moon over
