lyrics

Swallow every insult
Pass it through me
Throat tight with the swell of
One more duty
Just to feed

Every bone is porous,
More and more, a symptom of
Some steep decline

Call the workmen t’ward us:
“Build a monument to all the wasted time”

(Just to feed)
At 81,
Is there relief?
Set the gag
Down at my feet

The flight
Of the fat and buzzing, awful fly
Who’s begun to cut it awful fine
With the minutes she has left but

Still she butts against the pane
Start and stop and start again
Too dumb and drunk
To see the shine

Lips greased with the fat of
Former glories
Tongue curled round another
Fucking story
Just to feed

God give me
The will I need
To straight my knees
To move my feet

I saw
The people with their slackened jaws
At your castle built of dung and straw
And the finite hours of women

Still, the house deserves to stand
But not by me, a flame and fan
A tinderbox and willingness to strike
Goodbye
