Lo
Every night of late
I'm wide awake
because I feel
that every last mistake
that I have made
has me in pieces
I smile to your face
(and it is)
a lie just the same
(as if I)
I washed it all away
(and I showed)
my empty plate
With every hour that passes
I try to tell myself
what I know
that nights are only ashes
of days gone by burned
black and broken
I wear them on my skin
ahead when I begin
to run I chase until it follows
///
Funeral Suit
He came by in his funeral suit
in an open hearted shade of blue
asked me what I like to do
on a July evening
To Bermondsey or to Shoreditch
I said I don't know which is which
the night a thread for him to stitch
for me, the unbelieving
In the end we just stay in
and gesture with our mugs of gin
dance around this borrowed kitchen
a stop and start dumb show
I am a cold filament
we advance in tender increments
between the past and future tense
test the weight of both
///
We, The Drowned
We, the drowned
hold our hollow hearted ground
til we swallow ourselves down
again
We, the ashes
we spent our days like matches
and burned ourselves as black as
the end
We know not the fire in which we burn
but we sing and we sing
and the flames grow higher
we read not the pages which we turn
but we sing and we sing and we sing
We, the wrong
we the sewn up and long gone
were before and all along
like this
We, the drowned
the lost and found out
We are all finished again
///
