Each and Every Little Thing

You’re a cross between Proserpine,
Medusa, seducer,
All of Jupiter’s moons
Move in rings around you.

And the pull of your hips
Keeps the world at your feet,
While the milky way pales
To the pearls of your teeth.
And every living thing I know evolves around,
And every living thing I know dissolves around,
And every living thing I know revolves around,
Each and every little thing you’re involved in.

To watch your eyelids come down,
Closing over your eyes,
Is to watch as the stars
Disappear out of sight.

And your cheekbones that rise,
At the sides of your smile,
They have taken control
Of the seas and their tides.
And every living thing I know evolves around,
And every living thing I know dissolves around,
And every living thing I know revolves around,
Each and every little thing you’re involved in.

The most aesthetic anaesthetic,
The prettiest of stimulants,
For the effect you have upon me
There is no equivalent,
Because like every living thing my life evolves around,
And like every living thing my life dissolves around,
And like every living thing my life revolves around,
Each and every little thing you’re involved in.
