Ballad of the Mantis
Pour a drink into this vessel,
this solemn animal.
Pour a want into this heart,
this bastardized gaze.
Pour a drink into this mouth,
these parched lips.
Pour a kiss into this mouth,
this withered heart.
Pour a breath into this soul,
this breathless life.
Pour cyanide down my throat,
as you sing lullabies into my ear.
