The Past and Pending |
As someone sets light to the first fire of autumn |
We settle down to cut ourselves apart. |
Cough and twitch from the news on your face |
And some foreign candle burning in your eyes |
Held to the past too aware of the pending |
Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale. |
Enter the fog another low road descending |
Away from the cold lust, you house and summertime. |
Blind to the last cursed affair pistols and countless eyes |
A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running |
Feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch |
Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love. |
Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay |
Offer me little but doting on a crime. |
We’ve turned every stone and for all our inventions |
In matters of love loss, we’ve no recourse at all. |
Blind to the last cursed affair pistols and countless eyes |
A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running |
Feed till the sun turns into wood dousing an ancient torch |
Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love. |
