| Mistletoe, tattooed to the back of my skull
|
| Welcome home, chapped lips
|
| Slapshot taught, «Might makes right,»
|
| But that must be a lesson I have missed
|
| Can I put my thumb down your throat?
|
| Please, spit into my mouth
|
| Don’t look to the door, dear
|
| It’s cold out there, I fear
|
| With report of a wintry mix
|
| And here’s the twist:
|
| I torched your coat
|
| Kept my eye lid ajar and finally saw
|
| What I now know best:
|
| My body in motion most resents yours at rest
|
| Can I put my thumb down your throat?
|
| Please, spit into my mouth
|
| Don’t look to the door, dear
|
| It’s cold out there, I fear
|
| With report of a wintry mix
|
| And here’s the twist:
|
| I torched your coat
|
| Grandpa died on far-off frontlines
|
| But that’s not the end for me
|
| I much prefer warmth and the night to take its course
|
| With your mouth around my tongue
|
| Mistletoe, tattooed to the back of my skull
|
| Welcome home, chapped lips
|
| Slapshot taught, «Might makes right,»
|
| But that must be a lesson I have missed |
