The Frolic |
| 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 redbrick 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 chid’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 |
