Water Ponies Down Under

Lucy Tonic

Phone rings, only breathing

Landlord yelling, dog barking,

Mexican music, nosey neighbors

Long cigarette and goodbye girl

She's absent and she's catatonic

She's boiling in unwanted fever

She hums as she irons unplugged

She hums as she cleans up the blood

She's levitating against her will

She's nailing the door shut with a candle

She's rolling him up in a carpet

Yeah, your high horse and your sports

Are just heavy metaphors

For something a lot sweatier

Murder Made Her Menstrual

You supplied the weapons
