To Tundra |
| Meet me at St. Nicholas |
| Among the oaks, behind the church |
| That sway like pig-tailed girls as summer wind whistles |
| Around your bare-skin knees and the forsythia leaves |
| In the shade, lay with me |
| Tickled by the feather reed |
| That’s where the trees grow old under the ivy’s hold |
| As you in my two arms, equally safe from harm |
| And in a hazy day dream, our bodies married the stream |
| And we grow down into pebbles and silt |
| The water ran from the fields until the oceans were filled |
| And found the sea bed the comfiest quilt |
| There was more life in the weeds than in the few hundred seats |
| In rows from transept to chancel to nave |
| And when their anger had paused |
| I turned and answered their calls |
| With, «You're just audience, I’m the applause» |
| We take on the burden of all these sad-eyed children |
| With lilies bunched in our hands |
| We fake our concern and speak softly as the surgeon |
| Tells wife to cancel her plans |
| Take a body to water, take a body to tundra |
| Just take me with you as well |
| Please take a body to water, take a body to tundra |
| Just take me with you as well |
