How He Entered |
This is how he entered |
How he came in |
With an open heart and his eyes wide |
A rubber in his pocket |
Without socks, and a skip in his step |
In an ill-fitting suit with something up his sleeve |
A slither of a dream, a last gem |
And the fear in his eyes of how dear it was held |
This is how he entered |
How he came in |
Falling from the back of a transit van |
Crumpled, desperate for relief from the humdrum |
Each step a story, a song in the making |
Each step cemented the living |
The broken hearts left behind |
They were just material to him |
And how they would come to pursue him |
How they would eventually come to drag him back in |
This is how he entered |
How he came in |
With his hair cold he stood in the doorway |
Like a lost dog holding his missing poster |
Just to be sure — to be sure everyone knew just how lost he was |
Telling his story he broke onions and sang songs |
The street walkers carol |
Soft tissue |
The fear of emptiness |
Planting holes to grow some money |
These were his songs |
And this was how he came in |
This was how he entered |
How he came in |
With chips in his pocket |
Just waiting for the chance to get into the game |
With his hair combed and the checks on his shirt just right |
He sang of it but knew nothing of it |
The house of cards by an open window |
Pack of Frazzles |
An unsolvable puzzle |
He knew nothing of what you needed from him |
He knew nothing of giving |
He only knew of his desires |
He only knew of that woman |
This is how he entered |
This is how he came in |
This is how he entered |
How he came in |
