The day will come at a redrawing of the boundaries when Pilsudski will rear his |
head in Iberia, |
Because he’s been moving west for centuries, |
Creeping every time that Mazzini turns in his grave. |
And I have watched his drift with sallow skin and with longing for the western |
coasts where he would lay his head and get well. |
For he has caught a disease that makes him bleed when breathing. |
They sent him south for the cure to the shores of the Starnbergersee. |
So the day will come when I pack my things and move west into the setting sun, |
Because my strength has failed, |
I am fading. |
So will you till my fields and will you tend my sheep until I get back, |
Because I will be coming home, |
My health restored. |
And if Josef can lose himself in the dark of the continent then surely there |
must be a way that I can cough up the last of the continent and lose myself. |
Nineteenth Century science cannot soother my chest. |
Staggering through Europe, |
I keep on heading west. |
My medicine is a setting sun. |
