Pulse Thief

Euphoria's asleep

i took her timid pulse

euphoria's asleep

beneath clean sheets of snow

euphoria's asleep

my body's trembling wax

euphoria, you priest

of barren wrists and arched backs

static snows

our mirrored glow

can't you hear

the wet hum of my heart?

because we aren't

so let me graze you

with these wires

till our pulses conspire

in the coda of modems

but we aren't

sure i know that

you're real and you're red

but i just don't have

the energy for it

Euphoria's asleep

i took her timid pulse

euphoria's asleep

beneath clean sheets of snow
