Hebridean Nights from Taboos by Roadopener

remember when
making our love upon the pyramid sand
flickering in the prophet’s better hand
while he sold my name along the shore of hebrides

carried me into Aleutian seas
where we were made
never to be young again
(saint) kilda kept the secret safe, in her caves

as the sun set into my southern cross chest
slumbering like a knife without a sheath
I sunk into your body heat
hungering

suck the poison from the sting
collapse like little hornet’s wings
feel the venom numb your tongue
the price is paid, love’s fight is won

palo santo drifted on the wind
dignified, you brewed the medicine
while rain fell upon the tin
simmering

gathered fuel for the funeral pyre
the man I was, the man you desire
split upon your sacred shrine,
sanctified

fanning the flames across alluvial plains
then allayed, I turned retrograde
cause the cup in old Magellan’s hands
tempted me

suck the poison from the sting
collapse like little hornet’s wings
feel the venom numb your tongue
the price is paid, love’s fight is won
the price is paid, love’s fight is won
the price is paid, love’s fight is won

hold me through my hebridean nights
hold me through.
