Feathered in song, sweet in breath Sing to me, give grace voice I need not hear the words Just let me listen to your tune Are those mocking words Falling from your chest Along tongue, among winds Dancing through leaves and brush Come hence, my window frame I beckon, bribed with treats A quiet audience, enraptured to you My eyes closed; your voice is all Imagination and term of phrase The notes carry here and there But never so perfect as where I sit Hands folded in my lap Let the notes cascade Through dim interior sights Brighten corners, hanging webs Scare the shadowed bits But my glassless pane only lead From hence you flew now flown The songs now ended, bereft Sightless eyes, lids sewn shut Spiders spin brighter anew Shadows darker carousel down Unseen by my eye, felt on skin Such is life, so quiet an end Come closer, closer now, Friend Let me hear your sing song breath Smell mint, wintergreen, and flesh Grasp your hand, kiss your skin I'll have your voice, dance See through your eyes, drink Hold you close, to cold skin Give your song, love then live
