Greetings.
Love is stronger than this.
We lived here. We’re still here.Like sperm swarming a single egg
our smell gets inside youyour face covered in rags, confused
you came to visit usour engorged rigor faces
impaled on razor grassnews anchors call us a suicide.
Vibrant shirts and bell bottomshelicopter rotors scythe the sky
we lay still in defeatwe were shorted.
Count us again.Our global debut
after two days alonethere’s so much to tell you.
