Stripping Oliver from Deciduous Eccentric by Stephen Hero

Stripping Oliver

Just a step, step closer

To the edge, I'm going over

Stripping Oliver to the bone, to the gold

Falling head first into his heart

Let the music take control

Bones and tendon

Electric nerve shake

Birds, just bird song (no music at all)

Stripping Oliver to the sound

Of his grinning

Feeling Oliver inside his skin

The music prickling

Motorbike boy underneath lips

Lies the promise of his kiss

Bones and tendon, electric nerve shake

Birds, just bird song (no music at all)

A breathing hole In the skin

We're going to sing like birds

Just one breath, breath closer

I'm slipping in, I'm going over

By stripping Oliver to the skin

His soul's unzipping
