Merge, a vessel, a harbour A perfect union Of gift and reception Each an eye On the same face
Loss and gain Fly into the mouth of the ground Six feet under Thanks to some failure Fly into the mouth of the ground Six feet under
One for the night One for the dark Taste each other For a moment, then goodbye Hold her eyes Share the same air Oh lay it down Oh lay it bare
I'm speachless Naked as a fiery sunset You turn, not fleeting Destroyed not complete A perfect cocophony Rising like vapour Solid and liquid Awkward and trapping Stolen but paid for
Legs and knees and ankles and toes When it burns an old enemy flows Legs and knees and ankles and toes When it burns an old enemy flows
Gathered and strewn From this altitude To some other moon Wearing false armour And useless shields Failed to exist
Crying out and into the streets They are always prepared for the cries Prepared for the worst Crying outloud at the untold They are transfixed but not transformed
Stop accomodating echoes Into these hard-pressed streets Into these well-travelled streets Into these hard-pressed streets
