Thornbird Paradox (For Dg)

Tell my heart no humpty dumpty tale of love For I have seen winter's deceit flowed like tears And sit green where the grass was brown As Methusalah's dream of heaven. So let me Believe that one that bird nestless Shall break out singing at the edge of my heart So let me dream of love Callous and cold I did not know When first you came soft as rain upon the skin How foolish I thought I was the dance That make the clouds to melt their milk Ah but the music still play, my love And thornbird refuses to cry Refuses to fly Until you come again, until I live For a man must live before he dies. Then speak no more in silence what is true Nor dance alone behind the fence of dream I am awake where sleep longs to break through And give that Midas all my broken screams Shall gold be cold as ice evermore Shall winter's milk not sail the barren tongue The thornbird finds no trees on sandy shore The song is phoenix ash in its lung O let me touch the garment where virtue leaps O let me one jolt of memory that love may keep A song to sing to where virgins weep The silence of the fusing flesh, the joy time reaps
