burned by the christians

wire in the teeth while we warm twine while we breathe skip notes and bless where you been we lose days -broke hearts are whole or burned by the christians recline held under your tongue like a tiny stone carried home sung throated air down your spine crown cooks light we wolfed and whale bellied on we shone down blinder and winterless days lost a black ocean recline held under your tongue like a tiny stone paid and gone
