in Portugal austerity is biting... good luck everybody. Sat around the crowded table Wrangling chair legs and buttering Conversations about banalities whilst Being bathed by full cool moonlight Is of course a fair enough sweet delight. Yet there is smoke in the air! Then one by one my souls depart; Stunning my heart yet keeping me close Causing fears to become unshadowed. As somehow, I must open my eyes to find There is always a child quite near. Oh how do I keep it fed?

The Returning Child
in Portugal austerity is biting... good luck everybody. Sat around the crowded table Wrangling chair legs and buttering Conversations about banalities whilst Being bathed by full cool moonlight Is of course a fair enough sweet delight. Yet there is smoke in the air! Then one by one my souls depart; Stunning my heart yet keeping me close Causing fears to become unshadowed. As somehow, I must open my eyes to find There is always a child quite near. Oh how do I keep it fed?
