blue veins like rivers in winter
acne on rosey cheeks
strawberry freckles spread
like frost on hibernal creeks

we are stardust in the universe
we have iron in our veins
every scar is steel on skin
every soul is full of stains

brother, we're dust
but i'll bet it all gold
death breathes out
a hypothermic cold

we are fallen angels
from heaven we fell low
with headphones for halos
and an incandescent glow
