A bend in a ripple in time
tonight the goose drank wine
such a mess of a pond beneath the stratosphere
spinning which ways from the drain
it's alarming your voice
from behind the canopy
clearly I've gone insane
I'm a fractured globe
kind of like a dew drop
splintering the undertow
tawny is my lung
I like silver in my drink
I commend the Eagle
for him it's not a thing
at first it was my wrestling that lashed me out in spurts
now it's just a timid voice so often goes unheard
tell me I'm a complete soul
oh no you said 'ass hole'
chip away with one hand
whilst scooping with the other
traditionally I'm found, rearranging sand
bathing in oceans of light
it's a heavy thing, the weight of existing
but I can't be sure if we're not pulling on each other
if the news forgets then sweet, bless
your family are there to remind you that you suffer
it's a cosmic thing, kind of like a web
held up on tenderhooks suspended from our heads
like a washing line
but the clothes are emblematic
and the sweet smell goes unnoticed
for the wind between the threads
tell me I'm a complete soul
oh no you said 'ass hole'
chip away with one hand
whilst scooping with the other
traditionally I'm found, rearranging sand
bathing in oceans of light
it's a heavy thing, the weight of existing
but I can't be sure if we're not pulling on each other
