Courtship

He turned me down I then downturned another Who then downturned her The paralyzing juice of rejection His veins full of lead He's left with loving what he lost More than what he has My snakeskin, cold in the dark But warms up in the light I then upturned a green-eyed giant Who upturned and entered me Will we stop seeing what unites us But only what differs? The ghosts of old loves Hovering around his orifices His orifices As you narrate your own heart-tale You thread souls into one beam The love you gave and have been given Weave into your own dream I trust myself to re-archive My love historic stream --- Courtship - Björk
