Amble

two lovers run blind

through the meadows in the sun

milkweed and clover

breathing fast and just for fun

 

still it’s cold inside the thoughts

which palpate for tragedy

so we'll speak of heaven in human form

beneath the willow's wishing tree

 

tell everyone how it hurt

lover, it’s the only way

make sure they know its soft-

the wound you bare for me

 

i’ll tell them all you tried to swim

but pointed fingers turn to fists for you

in an ocean full of mutiny

the bad man beats the

weak mans blues
