Damned as we are there is still space to sing
Or howl out under a raucous moon
Take me to the snow and the open land
And let me breathe the cold carbon air

Curl my hips toward yours, drag me
Hot with protest to your mouth
Where I am barren leaving me bearing
The perfect rings of your teeth

The earth may die and us with it but
We will go out screaming, as we came in,
Petulant with vigor and desire and calmed
Only by the skin of another person
