Trinny Can You Hear Me?A Poem by CrowleyNot sure why, but I love this one.Trinny, lie down by my side and breathe Your perfect skin glows brightly as that star You start to speak poetry about the days When we were clean and the stars were just stars You'd scorch, you'd melt The life you were dealt (alas dear child) Is fraught with white specters And full-on black tigers Who'd fancy your pelt Trinny, don't you f*****g cry on me Your perfect heart like an egg, colored for easter Fragile, painted upon, eaten with salt and pepper Speaking tirelessly of making love under the trestle You'd teach, you'd track It's mounting your back (heavy dear child) You wail at the specters And stab all the tigers Who'll pick up the slack Trinny if you die, I'll kill you, I swear I love the way you feel naked, all consuming I rub my shaven face on your back, your buttocks You coo and shiver as you ask me to hand you grandmas afghan You'd squint, you'd smile I walked the hard mile (loving dear child) I'd marry the spectres And tame all the tigers Whose life is on trial Trinny.....
