30 Pieces

Lucy Tonic

My beloved sold me out with a kiss

The camel passed through the needle

Iscariot in his chariot, and me in a box

He keeps spare containers of light

For when he roams with dinosaurs

In crypts lacking oxygen

His roots go deep

And I'm the monkey chained in his tree

Trying to reach down and pull them out

The devil resides in the cleanest box

Keeping tabs on us

My beloved sold me out with a kiss

The camel passed through the needle
