Is this all of what's to come? A bed of thatch where we can slump And dream of spring, a chest to drum The sting of gin to parch our tongues Til she barks and makes demands Of the leaf of loose notes Clutched between her shaking hands Like a peckin hen's throat What would mum say? In a bad way Since we took dad's plums But am I not her holy daughter? Her living christened son? For I was stricken, passing salt By a stranger's reply Took a jaunt across the room Put a knife in my side And there it's stayed Some tether frayed Is this some test? Some test of faith? There's a thought to keep the mind From the sound of the door Faces known and old and kind We've seen them before Peace be with you, Hallelu you Aren't we all so damned? Take a skim through, skip the prelude To the slaughtered lamb I wonder what they've left today A horse, a horse, a bale of hay But there's the boy who takes his tea With a gallon of milk Look beneath his punctured feet To the riveted silk There is time, still! If the time wills, I'll be off by June! Like a foxhound on the hunting ground At the first halloo Is this goodbye? Is the ending nigh? Meet me by the riverside It's Sunday, dear, so take your heart and come The water's clear and the wash bin's plump And who's that boy that caught your idle eye? Oh, quelle surpris. You needn't lie... But keep it shut, don't spare a thought Piecing through the snags and knots Of all the days she could have left There's none would not have felt like theft Oh, the day's have come and gone Shipped off 'cross the sea Off, I guess, to prate and fawn Over some new relief Now, be careful with the her fair wool You've a skull of lead Bear your weariness just as weariness The old skeeter said For though the beds are filled with fleas She'll sing me to sleep Sing a tune of silk and fleece Of memories, steeped In the ripening and the picking Of the dun brown tree She'll be leaving in the evening, Oh, soft light seed! All my faith I give to you What choice have I left Waiting here beneath the blue With the patience of death Casting off all that I must Blind to all but this, my trust Delighter, sing! Delighter, sing! Delighter, sing! Delighter, sing!
