William’s wind
Calls to me
Body in ground
Soul at sea
William’s wind
Calls to me
Body in ground
Soul at sea
The moon told me that he and she
Were never ideal company
She said the years, they needn’t yoke
And they’d be stronger where they broke
You, You
Always you
My sounding sea
My desert dune
Last night the North Star led me astray
And I found myself; lost in the Milky Way
Yesterday it came in threes
Today he has no prose
Tomorrow could be poetry
I guess that’s how it goes
But he is my Sun at night
Always, he exists
And his lefts, they turn me right
How do I resist?
But I am his Moon at dawn
Always sending waves
And I counter his clockwise
How will he behave?
But we’re in eternal Lent
Nourished as we fast
Which gods divined this sacrament?
And how long will it last?
No thrills, no chills
No iron wills
No highs, no lows
No come-to-blows
No start, no end
No becket bend
No jeers, no tears
No stagnant fears
Just me and you,
Whatever comes to
Just you and I,
And big blue skies
Whether or not
There’s this thing called fate
Not knowing you is
My unnatural state
When forever amends and promises bend
Principium et finis
We can take what’s been severed and put new parts together
With epoxy Q.R.V.
We’ve travelled far enough away
That every step we tread
Is farther from and closer to
The other’s sorry stead
