lyrics

bitter aloe
tender his touch
how he can hold me
like a bowl that holds too much

and overflows
nobody knows
my

bitter aloe
i taste his kisses'
bitter wine
how he can touch me
like a wingtip brushed too much
closer to the edge

and overflows
nobody knows
the dance of skin on skin
caramel
in a bowl that overflows
in a room so soft with light
feel the ocean crashing in

bitter aloe
riper than a fig
wasp-blown in the heat

tender fingers
soft and so sublime
where fingers meet

and overflow
nobody knows
the dance of skin on skin
caramel
in a bowl that overflows
and the movement of the air
like a heartbeat like a hymn
