Make him a gambler, a prophet a buyer of raspberries
teach him to slam a shadow solder the car door
Make him a giant monstera plant rustling a broom
round his tumbleweed words let all that testosterone grow him
black shoes to dig into the earth no more strength
than what he needs to hold honeysuckle with Yes God give him
gemstones held in mathematical hands give him no doubt
that women care for money make him a prince a silkworm
a serf on a white horse Make him the horse cantering my name
in dark basements and when he comes, Lord give him
a care for me give him two dark eyes crossing always
towards the sea give him two hearts one to be fearsome
one to be fearful with give him gold teeth A last name
lovelier for my loss
