Lyrics:

What do you give
the woman
who gives
everything?
More attention than Cleopatra?
Your tongue to the hilt?
A shot o' Yeats?
A sixth sense? (The Ampullae of Lorenzini?)
A cookie factory?
A frozen tiger lily?
A power envelope?
A heart as big as Merton's Heart?
A moonlight fuck?
An incendiary device?
An antidote for ecstasy?
A basting syringe?
A sceptical sigh?
Stock mannerisms?
A showering of generosity that could serve
only to make her loathe you?
Future songs?
Wonderment giving way to delays?
Quintuplets?
Atlantic realism?
