Everything Is Cheap (When you're with me)

Everything is cheap

When you're with me

The context of occasion

A formulated equation

To keep you crawling

Back for something more


I'm easy-

With my sideways laugh

My cheap well whiskey

Calloused hands hard

From quill and axe

Pressed into the soft

Flesh of your neck


Broken hearts

Grow hard men

All the same as

Split logs make

For strong hands.


Where I am iron

You are weak

Cunning in

indifference

I see your need.


Any bed you find

Beside another man

Soft and thin, his

Temporary hands

Your heart will crawl
