lyrics

Slink back stink pig!
Allow me to up and away
Judges may bless you in porcine prowess
For this vaunted ungainly display
Whistle-stop klaxon
To gather the gendarmes
They foam to leap into the fray
Stitches and bruises
From boot heel contusions
A story to dine on for days
-
Blind.
Three hundred and sixty degrees
Winding up over the sky
Stooping to pattern the stairs
With a shuffling gait he arrives
Rising to nurture the flame
Cursing at gulls for his play
Oh solo! Yet never alone
Greeting the dusk of the day
-
Salt spray framed
Body so pale everywhere but his face
For it burns
Yet he daren’t glance away
He’ll clutch at her secrets
They glitter like candles
One day he’ll sift through them
Like golden debris
-
Frail.
Tilting and into the gale
Reading the squalls of the sea
Unknown yet guiding us home
Dining on lobsters for free
An endless succession of days
Split only by forks from the sky
Sullen he welcomes the rain
It pools in his stride
-
Oh blasted rock!
I’d split you in two with my hands bare, God held me I’ve tried!
I long to sink deep in the black and the brine
A harem of manatees warm at my side
I’ll raze it to rubble and matchsticks I swear
Before the new season arrives!
Painting my fingers, a halo of splinters
And tensing my frame
for the ultimate dive
-
But oh!
What draws near?
Another new vessel
All freckled with mussels
If I only will it then she’ll disappear
And lo!
I’ll set them free
What could be finer?
A gift to remind her
Delivered by rocks
And wrapped up by the sea
