Heart + soul
where did you go?
hawked for a penny
in the fountain
how do i climb
this great mountain
with my shoes on
back to front?
i grumble +
i grunt at
the life behind my windowpane
a view of daisies +
a glimpse of pain
when nothing's on my brain but
how to get there
to be anywhere else but here
in my quivering life
where the watchman's tears
are currency
but only on the inside
his tender trappings won't provide
shelter from the storm
that shudders
that blew away his brothers +
left him (me) counting
pennies like there's anything to gain
in delay +
yet another hopeless day
i'll dig my eyes out
before i freeze to death
cos i've lost control of
my heart + soul
can't find it in
my coin-burdened pocket
i don't have the power to
isolate my wildflowers +
so i apologise to me
for the dream i'm dreaming +
the song i'm singing
that in struggle
i keep bringing out
like a fire's gonna burn
if i forget to flick the switch +
bury my ambitions in the ditch +
in the deathbed of my dreams
i will plant
a patch of green
