Can you tell me one more time
I want to believe
I choose Ava Gardner
I choose one two three
Digging down in the cellar deep
She said
“You fled across an ocean
then over a sea”
A Crystal cave, a reptile garden
Oh petrified forest, rising before me
My desperate attractions
both human and god-made
so natural and manufactured
a-v-a g-a-r-d-n-e-r
1-2-3
I know that tomorrow
I’ll forget to remind myself
that yesterday this worked so well
yesterday we worked so well
We imagine love
we don’t see that it’s there
cool and smooth to the touch,
in the sweep of her hair
A memory of a scent
of a sound of a feeling
I’m digging down in the cellar deep
I still want to believe my tiny little film star
my film star oracle
got to check my paper film star
little film star oracle
