Parlour Songs

by Lux Piper

Overview

"Drip-drip-drop. What is dripping? Red wine from a broken glass? Water from a broken sink? Why is it broken and how do we fix it? You are deathly beautiful and you bring the rain. Why do you bring the rain? We arch our backs and we cry for the love of you. Oh, darling, you are the deepest dancing, loveliest silverprettyone. Don’t lose us, little one. Why are you drip-drip-dropping? The rain is falling and you are the silver silver silver one for us."
