Poem
Shall we adjourn from the morning morgue For pizza and a game of chess? Rays Curve Along The Earth It is daybreak With morning comes the shining off the layers of the lake And mourning the opening of the floodgates We went down to the coffee table Skipping past the cherry tree This tree, it served us fruit and oak To love and to live beside the wood And there we played a game of chess [/i/The bishops had fallen but the castle was gone The White king shoved the guardsman pawn He fell soon after To roars of laughter They all adjourned to the morgue To the final morgue] Tea for two and two for tea Still Café Paris for you and me We lounged in striped sky blue beach chairs Our raking gazes grazed the summit of the hill I would not have sat still But for the girl that had lain The girl wreathed in flame Scratched her shoulders and laughed with the rain I wondered: did I dare? Hold her hand and descend into the uncharted lair? Gears and Cogs It was between April and June I began to build my bicycle Fitted in a third wheel By then I couldn't tell what was true What was real? Took her down ol' King's Road Gave her a short spin But for the third wheel she would've broken She survived, just barely, a token The token piece remained unbroken I BUILT a house of upside down I KNOW that lost is lost but found She was my house of upside down I built her and she built me We built each other in the machine Gliding Through The Winter Wood It is nightfall With dark tags along the midnight sun Unwanted but unaffected She shifts the curves along the earth And ruffles up the winter wood Where I have been waiting Where I have wasted many a night praying And on the tree bark painting For love and for my love And the taking of an oath and tea What then shall the leaves fall From thy hand onto the snow And when shall there be daylight once more? For now I shall be gliding Gliding through the winter wood Dark amongst the silver white I am king and you are queen In an endless game of chess
