Another patch of darkness

Silence is your garden 

Full of giant baobabs 

Regal and majestic 

Like a velvet beach 

When will you commando

Raid subordination

Obliterate the quibbles 

Regurgitate my worm 

Let them eat cake 

From your golden prison 

Let them escape 

From this damnation 

This recalcitrance 

This enclave 

This smutty underpass 

This autoerotic cock horse 

This Major moral impassario 

Drowning like a rubber dodo

Splashing in the bath

Giving up the ghost 

Which was buried in the rubble 

Ashes to ashes 

And a tear in the loft 

Another patch of darkness 

In the universal sleep 

Where does memory live 

My love

In a turtle’s hive ?

Where did your deadness go to 

Now you are alive.
