RoadKill

Sweetness on the ground, all keeper of flesh

Splayed out on the road, a tragic lovesong

Preserved in sickness and in health

And only in my mind

Time will take the suffering, time will take the smell

I'm not bearer of your will, but selfishness is love

I can't keep you warm here, lest the people see

I will, take home, what's mine, is not, but yours, I keep, it's sick, but I, can hold, your peace, I

only, wish to, keep you, here, with me, preserving, sweetness, dear,

You can't drive me away, but you can drive over me

Keep it rotting, over me, come home
