Too late to spit, too glad to swallow, she smiled at it
What's done is done, there is no tomorrow
Only the ambiguous expectations of it
And in our today is laden the universe of sorrow
Let them who wronged her cry now for their loss
From molesting father to rude teacher so unkind
Above all let him who treated her love as but dross
Weep her and unlament his unfaithfulness, his blind
Ego, and his irrevrsible eternal loss
The angels had coming swining low as had heard
The chariots ablaze were for God's last thornbird
Farewell then callous cruel world she said, she said
So and then like a wilted plant bowed her head.
The curtains fall onn the stage of life, the act is done
And the theatre waits now another cycle of the sun.

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
