When we touch the world And it falls away When we feel like we're born Just to fall apart
And our mother lies in state And the broken pitcher glistens And the snow is at the window Making neither sign nor symbol And the earth covers earth And the mud lies in pools
Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken And the dry wind bends and sighs And the geese are running harmless And our desires are running wild When we're looking at the smoke That's rising from the incense Neither coming here nor going Neither heaven here nor hell Neither borning here nor birthing Neither dying here nor death
And we're wrapped inside our troubles And we're wrapped inside our pain And wracked with fires with longing And our eyes are blind with night With our fingers clutching coins And our thoughts burning with 'I' And our eyes cannot be sated With the world and it's nightmares With the world and it's dreams Though later they'll be filled With a small handful of dust And the gods appear on altars And we recognise their face It's a face that we have carved there And it's full of fear and longing And promises and threats But they neither stoop to conquer Nor do they stoop to praise And the mines are void of diamonds That we carry in our rags
And all the world seems A sadness song All the world seems A sad sadness song
Fourteen long years she lies oh she lies oh And love as she lies she dreams in white stone Colonnade marbled and balcony empty A broken band brokenly marks broken time Fourteen long years she dreams oh she dreams oh As dreamer she dreams on, as lover entwines Her limbs grow round his limbs, she drinks from a bottle She walks through the city she's lost and then found Fourteen long years, further back scattered She sits on some beach and reasons with him In the secret red moist heart, the most loved and most dark The flame shaft and fierce dart, the rose-leaf and moss-part Spreadeagled like starfish, most pain and most fear Like flower of sea-grass, most fragile and harmless Most fiery and bloody, most childlike and wrinkled This starfish, this spider, most wretched and great ''Do not cry for me; let me show you the path On which we neither come nor go'' She smiles at me lake-wide, wet-brown-eyed and dark-skinned Some dark moon unmoved stalks through our loss ''Do not spend this night with me; I shall make the fallen blind see'' This too another broken toy, from broken girl gift to broken boy I ask my sea-blue rushing mother: ''Shall she hear the lions roar?''
