pluto

Sufjan Stevens

Jupiter, bad June
You know my arms ache
And I ve organized my face

Sweet sun sister, moon
Seasons have shown
How your providence takes shape

My little eye shadow
Bruised by the moon s paddle
Lipstick eyeliner replaced

Charon, the fog lifted
Messenger dwarfism
Let s leave evidence to rest

Pluto, silly goose
Why did you hide
Behind coverlings of shame?

Smooth, splendid abuse
Won t you tell me
How to deal with my own?

Sworn by Persephone
Our melancholy
She waits forever in your kiss

Lonely passageway
Orbiting castaway
Beat your beauty at your breast

Don t surprise me
You monster, you master
Make an ever last request
