open says m'amie

"Open!" says m'amie
and i do, marvelously
like lava from the old mountain
it all fountains out and around
and for once nobody drowns
my bowed ocean out
with their own meaty shower
so you smile so big that i unravel
my tight album sings in time
with your fine, tiny talons
and i'm watching you tear
my lies into telling
with wide, white eyes
like it's christmas
yes! see? i told you:
my fight is loud, but talentless
there's no crown hidden here
no underground lair of fearlessness
just some queer packaging
to trick the average fans
into handling their own shams
so i don't have to show them
why simply handing over is better than that
but you i want to know my whole solar system
even pluto, and that cute little kuiper belt
all the way back to the burning center
where tenderness lives
so i let loose my ballast
lose my balance, and still it's all right
because you've got your own light now
the sound outside it guides us inside
the shrine is tremendous
everything shines
you can even see my voice tremble
i like it
