I'm going to wrap you up in silverslick seaweed strips
Douse you in soy sauce and lay salty lips
along your wet pink gingery folds
Slather wasabi on your pearly toes
Give you a garlicky glaze cracked in the right place
feel your fish on my waves
Oh lover your mouthbones on my blue tips
Give me a hot spicy splash in the hips
I'll bathe you in red love
I'll be your flesh glove
I'll drink your hot sake
If you eat my hamake
And we'll sway at the bottom of the sea
You, your beauty, my beauty, and me.
