Pomegranate - Poi Dog Pondering

Pomegranate

Pomegranate

Like God’s ankles, like God’s feet

Pomegranate

Smooth like God’s skin, smooth like God’s bones

Fruit so wet, my tongue laid upon

She rises with the night, she sleeps with the dawn

Pomegranate

Pomegranate

The tooth is a stone and the eye is a pit

Nipples are seeds and the mind is the culprit

Milk blood flowing, stardust sleeps

Water light glistens, and the fireflies beat

Pomegranate

Pomegranate

The pull of palms, along the skin of dreams

Discotheque and light beams

You know you’re holding something, you know you see

Bring it to me, gimme seed

Pomegranate

Pomegranate

Time is a bastard it won’t let me patch things up

It’s all firecracker paper and empty tin cups

Eyes to the sky and feet on the ground

Weighing all the consequences, pound by pound

Pomegranate in the palm of my hand

I was ruler of the kingdom, I was ruler of the land
