I have tried to boost the vocal tracks now, so hope it is easier to hear. Any tips for improving further are welcome. Perhaps the reverb doesn’t work?

I’ve also pasted the words below.


I steer my car,
on the long wet road
to Virginia’s place,
through sheets of ripping rain.

Past the airport,
a plane takes off
across my windscreen,
shatters the air.

Red lights, white
behind flashing wiper blades.

Memory of her scent
drives me wild.

The steering wheel slips
in my hot palms.

I steer my car
on the long wet road
to Virginia’s place.

trying to keep it straight.

Virginia smiles.
red curls spiral
over her shoulders
like waxy snakes.

She leans,
in the doorway
iced-pink
gown agape
breath edible
sweet.

A nipple ripens
through thin silk -
I long to eat.
