lyrics

The Dove

I can’t believe my luck
my loss, my love
To find you lying broken
on the lawn
I’d seen your cry incised
on the windowpane
It seems like you were flying
into the grave

And on the grass enrobed
in jewels of dew
And on the glass a ghosted,
gauzed, cartoon
How clean there is a lie,
how clean the break
It seems I was meant
to find you
and be changed

Out of every calling there calls
in cry or quiet
Out of every killing their cues
the clue
And in every image there isn’t
an end
but I end
I end up
haunting you
it ends up
haunting you

It took me days
to move you
from that place
But your shape
remained through
days of wind
and rain
No need now
to remind
I can explain:

The fear that I would die
and leave no trace
