Bend me by the bones.
Really dig your hands
Into the ooey-gooey bits
That make up my soul.
They rip nice and pretty,
Dangle from your teeth
In a way that looks right.
You're a natural predator
And you've torn me apart.
The moon slid between us,
Blacked out the sky.
Fed blood into lore like
Some kind of old antidote.
Am I too sick to be cured?
Tell me the sun will rise.
Let me hear the words
That curl into whispered lies.
Romance me before I go.
Bend my soul into shapes
I'll remember after the rain.
Shift the essence of me
Until my molten glass heart
Has cooled into something new.
Let me be part of you.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Back to the silver we all know and love in this one. Another I can feel this under my skin, reaction. In me that is. 'The moon slid between us' loving this imagery. Oh the sun will rise, for sure. Not too sick, so you will be cured. 'Let me be part of you' love the ending. This whole poem had the allure that keeps it remembered. You're one of the best in surreal poetry. 🤗❤️
I love this ♥
I feel like this takes the meaning of coming together in love a little too literal... Ouch!! 😅
This is what they should mean when they say love hurts, instead of that other thing.
