Ye Poor & Maimed
Hey little one
one day you will be old & I will be gone gone gone
With death all around
All my autumn branches, they are dragging on the ground
So come consider your tongue
Laying loose in your mouth, oh & cursing all the young
Ye poor & maimed
Halt & blind, if you thirst & happy you would be
Say these eyes are blind
You can drink your water & true valiance you'll find
Then just like the birds
All flown from their branches oh & skyward I am bund
Then come & steady your nerves
On this cask of opiated wine wine wine
And hey little one
soon this life is over & another one begun
Hey little one
one day you will be old & I will be gone gone gone

Sound of the Sea
Come make the sound of the sea
With your breathing next to me
There's house martins under the eves
You can have your own key
To the door if you please
& All that that means
She said you better come unto me
For I am a shepherdess
And you are a wolf
With barbarous needs
Sometimes I'm just like a robin
In the northerly winds
Poor thing
Hiding with my head under my arms
Like it were a wing
Broken in two pieces
All broken in to pieces
Poor thing

The Hawthorn & Blackthorn
The Hawthorn has pricked me
To my bare Baines
Oh-o weep for me
Oh-o weep for the Hawthorn tree
& the Blackthorn too
It cuts at me
'Til my blood shows through
Oh-o weep for me
Oh-o weep for the Blackthorn tree

Blackbird
I tried to measure
A Blackbird's intentions
With thoughts & inventions
Heartfelt intuitions
But that was no way
To make observations
Which leaves incomplete
And just speculation
So I viewed it's agency
& it saw me looking
At it on its own branch
With all its divergences
It knows no glory
Nor I only stories
So the Blackbird leaves me
Alone with my singing o
Where do I end
& the Blackbird begin
& the tree where she sits
& the notes that she sings
They fall on my ears
& in the air I breathe them in
'Til our atoms exchange
& Together we will be
