carbon

• tori amos sarkisi:
  
  carbon made
  found her at the
  end of a chain
  "time to race" she said
  "race the downhill"
  behind crystaline irises
  loons can dive
  where the world bleeds white
  
  just keep your eyes on her
  keep don't look away
  keep your eyes on her horizon
  
  bear claw
  free fall
  a gunner's view
  black and blue
  shred in ribbons
  of lithium
  blow by blow
  her mind cut
  in sheets
  layers deep
  now unravelling
  
  just keep your eyes on her
  keep don't look away
  keep your eyes on her horizon
  
  get me neil on the line
  no i can't hold
  have him read
  "snow glass apples"
  where nothing is what it seems
  "little sis you must crack this"
  he says to me
  "you must go in again
  carbon made
  only wants to be unmade"
  blade to ice
  it's double diamond time
  
  and keep your eyes on her...
  
  on her eyes
  on her horizon
