everyone has some tune in another life to tell

 

a skin of else

the gods smile on

 

in a season we are yet to invent

 

I bury my only

my why

 

sweep up the remains

the grandchildren

theirs

 

in another life

 

splendid raiment

three gifts

 

time is a corridor

knock on each

 

it’s hutch

and it’s bear me up

 

this stick in my beak

 

here is the love of another life

and other destinies known

 

my victims rise

congratulate

 

as if in odd socks found there

 

in another life

where we are

 

off the charts

 

no one knows

who, how, why

 

everyone has some tune

to tell

 

listen hard

and you will hear

 

sometimes must other side it

 

this is the house of the dream

 

each track thus ended

 

I return to where I never was

 

 

in such light as pity

everyone casts a stain across time

 

of course we are telling all of this home

 

here at last

at last free

 

I have dreamt of the rain

ants wouldn’t tell

 

not twice

but here at home

 

in another life we will jam

 

I have heard the secret speech of cicadas

louder than any can hear

 

all this is what it is as they say

was always meant to be
