cheap gold
Singer:frightened rabbit
drips from dressed up trees
in case it's not what she wants
the ring on the familiar hand
a cross on a necklace that he bought
wrapped in cheap gold paper
hoping it would be enough to keep her
and the tarnished silver snow
falling down like heavy drinkers
take the steamed-up taxi home
and suck a hip flask to stay warm
ignore the hardened winter
swap a kiss for a stiff ring finger
the thought that counted has gone missing
feels so cheap but remember this is
