I'd Lay

I’d lay, I’d lay
In the ratchet stroke hum of the hot day
In your red sewn gaze
I’d lay
I’d lay inside your violence
You’d lay inside my silence
I’d lay
That box, that wound. I would of opened it for you.
Through the metal grate slits I’d dragged you
Through the blood-stoned waters of your past gloom
From the belly of the dead
Wherein your famine first fed
And we’d lay, we’d lay.
We’d lay our pride beside us
We’d spread our salt behind us
I’d lay our dead
So you’d stay in stead

Black Swan

The sun has fallen and it lies in blood
The moon is weaving bandages of gold
Oh black swan, where has my lover gone?
Torn and tattered is my bridal gown and my map is lost
With silver needles and with silver threads
The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun
Oh black swan, where has my lover gone?
I had given him a kiss of fire and a golden ring
Don’t you hear your lover moan?
Eyes of glass and feet of stone
Shells for teeth and beads for tongue
Deep down in the river’s bed
He’s looking for the ring
The spool's unraveled and the needle breaks
The sun's buried and the stars weep
Oh black wave, keep away with you
I will show you my golden veil and my bridal gown
Take me home with you
With my child unborn
Oh, black swan
