Katie Jane Garside
Fire at Bone Girl Hotel
Bone girl come to me
Come into my broken arm
I will sing your skeleton note
I will sing your bones
These bones are angled sharp
Screeching beseeching bones
Picking out tongue and eyes
For hollow empty words
Hollow empty words
Tripped over the shadow
Of a grieving rainbow
I did not cooperate with the police
I’m breathing the air of my burnt hair
I did not cooperate with the police
Your cleavered opened rips
And all your songs are flown
Neural pathway into hell
Sky blue, blue black tongue
I love your no-eyed stare
Your burned and brittle collapse
Picking through a shipwreck moon
Bone china lungs crack
Bone china lungs crack
Tripped over the shadow
Of a grieving rainbow
I did not cooperate with the police
I’m breathing the air of my burnt hair
I did not cooperate with the police
