Softest Strike

from Captains of Industry by buttercup

lyrics

“the softest strike” (sanden)

mittens startin’ to pack snow in hand
compress the world in a ball of ice
from the night’s snowfall
the morning yawn just cracks
light feeds back to a target with her long brown hair
brushed coyly back

but scooped up with the snow was a rock
a secret payload

turn to face the sky
lust unknown to a heartbeat deep inside
her soft swelling breast
trajectory complete buckling knees
rock and ice blood and snow love and hate

through the air hurtle past children’s stares
a secret payload

when the softest strike it’s still violent
when the weakest put up a fight it’s labeled a nuisance
when the softest strike it’s still violent
when the weakest put up a fight it’s labeled dirty
it’s labeled dirty
