Ready to Lose

The Knife

Thinking about the mouth that waters,
Thinking about losing.

Sucking the marrow, feeding the pain.
Facing a consequence

The blood
the mine
the yours
combined
blood control
A hazy line
Rearranging 
of desires

Ready, ready to lose a privilege
Ready, ready to lose a privilege

Dysfunctional culture 
spin me away
Preserving the bloodline

Fear of suffering, fear of loss
Sucked in your birth rights

The blood
the mine
the yours
combined
blood control
A hazy line
Rearranging 
of desires

Ready, ready to lose a privilege
An ongoing habit
a transfer of possessions
Ready, ready to lose a privilege
A final sequence
An end to succession
