The Owl And The Tanager |
All I had hoped for |
I kept inside your car |
The rabbit in the barn |
Most of all I wait |
I wait beside the door; |
I wait beside the door |
All I was wrong trembling in the cage |
I was diamonds in the cage |
In seven hours I consider death |
And your father called to yell at me You little boy, you little boy |
Found out you cheated me I ran behind the barn and cut my hands somehow |
Blood in the meadowlark |
I punched your ears instead |
I punched you in the head |
You only laughed and laughed and laughed |
How I was wrong tingling from the kill |
Tickle me until you devil bird you evil still |
Slept on my arms, sleeping in the sill |
I was sleeping in the room with you |
You little boy, you little boy |
How could you run from me now? |
The loneliest chime in the house |
The loneliest chime in the house |
You let it out you let it out |
Come to me Calvary still |
I’m weeding and raking until |
I’m bleeding in spite of my love for you |
It bruised and bruised my will |
Counting alluvial plains |
The breathing inside of the range |
You touched me inside of my cage |
Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me Come to me feathered and frayed |
For I am the ugliest prey, |
For I am the ugliest prey |
The owl, the reckless reckless praise. |
You said you’d wait for me Down by Tannery Creek |
Far out by the clothesline where we used to kiss behind the sheets |
Wrapped in a blanket of red |
The Owl and the Tanager said |
The Owl and the Tanager said |
One waits until the hour is death |
