Tines

lyrics

Tines

old drifter plagued with hiccups found God
thus stricken shot up sickened and saw
the ever-lengthening rhythm
the ever-gaping maw

when you hold your breath I find that I can breathe
heavy stone Adonis lying beside me
desiring nothing

and in the absence of your flapping child’s wiles
my tea-light heart can hear itself humming
with a heat that is wild

……………………………

quick men! undam the rivers!
of pens pockmarked from chewing
on those gloomy gothic truths I read in the tiles

quick! can I be delivered?
sharpened my teeth on fresh young poplars
and now I gotta watch that smile

………………………………

lo! and behold!
new moss managed to grow on those
glowing old photographs
we thought we tacked to the wall
that backs onto time

and now I fear that if I turn my mind away from the cradle
my babe will sprout coarse and vicious tines
or worse still, I will
just guiltlessly
forget that he is mine

………………………………

oh little lady
it’s okay
but it ain’t like a train
don’t let their guitar playing fool you

oh little lady
it is a boon
but you cannot tune it to your style
it comes to you barbed and unbridled

……………………………

oh my love
oh my love
you root and root to touch just what is mute in me
I’m quitting, this is my last pack of epiphanies
I will wait
til the end of my days
for it to hit me
