lyrics

You always appear in the same way
By a lakeside, weary, alone
Under the stars and a full moon
With a cancer residing in your bones
And have you completed your essay
On the ramifications of the heart?
On how they are irregular and formless
You have an unsettled notion
Of a poetry that is motion

I saw you walk proudly to the scaffold
With your chin up and a hand on your heart
You had to come clean, to let it all out
When you spoke to her briefly in the yard
You said: “Have you forgiven your parents?
Have you brought peace to their home?
I want our love to be neither fierce nor vengeful
Merely upheld by emotion
And pure, untouched devotion”

Did you ever picture it:
The body when it breaks
And in the front hall we watch it transform
Who out here could ever tell that it was
Once a quivering ocean?

That’s all
And millions will wait
He’s dry
And sick from the wait
