SEAMUS KIRKPATRICK

MUSIC EXCLUSIVE

This will be the first track from an upcoming King Colossus album “Basically Unloveable”. The album will explore the welcome surprise of new love but will inevitably be impacted by the current political climate (aaahh if only it weren’t so).

When You Fuck

by King Colossus

when you fuck your face is eternal

eyes like down that soften with every

stroke widen like a cat dog hips that lift

back that arches glow like a pulsar

warming sear like an ecstatic sun

 

when you fuck your eyes fly

up and back and lip shakes sweat

smeared eyes sting body slips

and sings of long wet summers

and breaths like waves

 

i’ve never seen anything so beautiful
