| Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
|
| I’m not cut out for all these cynical clones
|
| These hunters with cell phones
|
| Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
|
| I don’t belong and, my beloved, neither do you
|
| Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
|
| I’m setting off, but not without my muse
|
| What should be over burrowed under my skin
|
| In heart-stopping waves of hurt
|
| I’ve come too far to watch some name-dropping sleaze
|
| Tell me what are my Wordsworth
|
| Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
|
| I don’t belong and, my beloved, neither do you
|
| Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
|
| I’m setting off, but not without my muse
|
| I want auroras and sad prose
|
| I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
|
| 'Cause I haven’t moved in years
|
| And I want you right here
|
| A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
|
| With no one around to tweet it
|
| While I bathe in cliff-side pools
|
| With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
|
| Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
|
| I don’t belong and, my beloved, neither do you
|
| Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
|
| I’m setting off, but not without my muse
|
| No, not without you |
