Rivers flow

...He walked down Inman just to see what she had drawn She waited every May for someone who was gone He’d say: My Rose, Virgo, wipe the lapis from your eye! To a Ceres ear of corn, moth-torn to her Europa-light And they linger in those days falling like rain on summer dunes where: “You are not the one I met, yet you’d become the one I knew And on your room, oh how I begged you run away And every year in tears you'd press on me to stay And we tried so hard in those shaded yards At Miss Amabells' house or at Tinsley Park Down that muggy street nightly wandering Layin fit a spell under Green Way trees And for a time, half sore, half fine With the whippoorwill we'll swallow wine The sweet tan musk, the hushed amens Our fingers rake the waves of our skin To mend our ships We use the sales Set Thesean Colombia held high a sheaf of wheat And made Eve cover her breasts with the Ol' Glory of Astarte But the "gnosis" of Athena, bore as Rhea forth to nosos With the goldenrod July received the news: Annuit Coeptis couldn't stave Cybele's pall Demeter's grain fell rot in towers set to fall In the heat and rain she fled to find her June And on the road he saw her, just as she collapsed Panicked, he ran and carried her home When she finally woke she held his face Saying “O my June I have come so late Now my lent light night nears collect Have I pawned these years to avert the debt? How the waters rise washing all I knew Breaching all the lines I should have left with you The clepsydra now rushing runs, the doctor said it's in my blood" "We have to get you back!" "No, June, just stay with me" I see you now Mercy, mercy In that old house Kissing the warm light on your shoulder They wept and wound Mercy, mercy Come take my hand And dance with me foot-free again… Before I can't Spin me and maybe We'll circle back This isn't how this story's supposed to go Just be here now Mercy, mercy Is it old clothes That I've been so afraid to lose? O can I fence life in? O I don't want to be afraid anymore I want to I fly like one of them She clasped his hand round the maple seed weeping: "June promise you’ll plant this with me.” Must I eyes rent wide wake here every time To a life I must remind myself is mine Can you hide your head in that bed you use From the howling dreams of the life we knew? You can fool them all, can you fool the night As you drawn in your doorway by the porch light? Should you drifting go down your parents blood Know that river's flow will become the flood While somewhere off in some other time We just met in that great collide Only there we’re free and we make a home A summer peach with her corn field groom There’s a tree that still stands in that park On who's limb rests our covenant ark There's a word that should we speak again A crucifixion breath must we draw back in A shell awake, an ache, a song O Comely as Jerusalem A shell await, a flame arise On an endless loop till we get this right Can you hide your head in that bed you chose When your wild-heart knocks at the door you closed? Lay your head on my shoulder, we have done wrong Though we won't last the evening, we'll have till dawn
