Life's Work |
| There’s a danger in speaking up |
| When the powers that be find your lungs lacking |
| Besides, did you want to be understood? |
| If the time was right, bloody sure you would |
| But the time was wrong; |
| I’d a life’s work to do |
| After I finished that walk with you |
| There’s no record of your voice |
| I taped you at Christmas refusing your uncles a song |
| What they wanted was yours alone |
| You’ll enter eternity guarding your groans |
| Your bones, bones, bones are a bleak masterpiece: |
| Off with the camera, on with the fleece |
| There’s a blue swollen sea |
| It comes rushing for me |
| In the days left in balance |
| When you’ve left me your diaries, your daughters, your dockets |
| Will I set aside time for each of those? |
| Or wonder if Pharaohs were buried with more clothes? |
| A ghost with a life’s work to do: |
| Patrolling the body you’ll leave me to ruin |
| There’s a blue swollen sea |
| It wants you to believe |
| That the laws of the universe do not apply under it |
| It comes rushing for me. |
