Sinking Foxes from CHALK by Ann Liu Cannon

Sinking foxes
Plastic faces
My queen naps by the drain

Gazelles in the spotlight
Bulldogs by the road side
My naked skin like a knife to a gunfight

Lonely lips in my ear
Can you hold me like my mother
Like there’s no other
They tell me

I may not die here but I’ll die in the morning
With the sun on my face lighting up a strange room
Got myself down but I wasn’t really here
I’m all out of place
I miss you, I miss you
Well I don’t drink, I don’t dance
but I shook myself about like a wolf in a trance
I’ve got nothing to lose anymore
My youth passed me by on the dance floor

Freudian
Shot glass
Cutting teeth
With the red stains on my cheeks
I can’t keep up with you

She’s so sure of what she desires
I tried to dance but I looked like a liar
I imagined this so many times
But its too late, the moments passed

And the end comes to me now, you’re not here
So I lie down
On the dance floor
Like a baby
May the holy water
Resurrect me

If I don’t die here then I’ll die in the morning
With the sun on my face lighting up a strange room
Got myself down but I wasn’t really here
I’m all out of place
I miss you, I miss you
Well I don’t drink, and I don’t dance,
but I shook myself about like a wolf in a trance
I’ve got nothing to lose anymore
My youth passed me by on the dance floor

Bring me my holy water
Bring me my holy water
Bring me my holy water
