I take your hand | |
We walk towards where the roses once grew | |
I lie back in the grass and dream of how it once was | |
The rubbishstrewn streets | |
Riperising smell of gutters and rain | |
The children abandoned | |
Mother recalls child in pool | |
What is that that lies? deadchilddead | |
I have such nightmares and you're all in all of them | |
It's worse than you or i can ever know | |
On the edge of the clouds we crouch | |
We smile and spit | |
The pool of saliva carrascates below our feet | |
It shifts | |
Children with knives begin to rise from it | |
They laugh and blow kisses at the moon | |
We think it's the rain | |
I see a bird move onto the table in my garden | |
Its beak scoops up the seeds | |
The green of the grass and the blue of the sky | |
Are immense and terrifying | |
Everything seems so close | |
so very very close | |
Should a storm come | |
Should a storm break and halo all around us | |
As some savage and blind god | |
Jerking his hands out to us | |
The birds drop all around us | |
I walk into the altar room | |
All the buddhas are smashed there | |
Avalokitesvara's hundred faces lie shattered | |
I have done this | |
I walk to the makeshift red brick altar a hundred years ago | |
there is a small brass image there | |
I have built this | |
The red and black ants mill around | |
Unknown journeys | |
I take my lighter and torch them | |
I take my lighter and torch them | |
I weep i weep | |
The ants scatter or writhe | |
I take my lighter and torch them torch them | |
I have done this | |
I am surrounded by butterflies | |
The child's legs lay smashed | |
Please pray for him she says to me | |
Too late | |
Alas oh so too late | |
I see the twinkling stars | |
I drop a photograph | |
I bend to pick it up | |
My heart leaps as i see your face | |
Stare up at me from the paper | |
As if still alive on this earth | |
When i return my eyes to the stars | |
They gathered | |
They pucker | |
And are blind | |
And are blind | |
So lost are we | |
Oh what have i become | |
I have become that i hate | |
I have become that i shall say no | |
The bird is dead now alas | |
A voice whispers to me | |
And says nothing nothing | |
There is nothing | |
I look to my right and see her face again | |
And again the world disappears | |
And all fall down | |
All fall down | |
All fall down i all fall down | |
All fall down i all fall down | |
We all fall down | |
We all fall down |
