Sawdust And
the top of the flight Of the wide, white the rest of my life Do you wait for me
There's a in my ears a wide white roar Drop a bell down the Hear it fall
Hear it fall
Drop a bell off of the it out in the sea Drowning mute as a And sounding
a light in the wings Hits system of strings From the side while they See the wires, the wires, the
And the In our elbows and us buckle as we couple in endless increase As the audience
And the white dove Made love, made with love: with glue, and a glove, and some pliers
Swings a low arc From its in the dark Settle down my desire
And the moment I slept I was swept up in a tremor Though no longer bereft, how I shook and I remember
the furthermost shake drove a murthering stake in And cleft me right down through my And I shouldn't say so, but I that it was then, or never
Push me into a tree Bind my with salt And fill my long ears bees please, please, please, Love, you not! No you not!
Then the system of strings tugs on the tip of my (cut from and old magazines) me warble and rise like a sparrow And in the place where I stood, there is a of wood A cord or two, which you chop and you in your barrow

In the trough of the Which are like dogs we, pale-faced and grave, As I in my log
Then I hear a noise from the days out to sea And it is the bell!
And it - well, I believe, that it tolls - for me! It for me!
And though my wrists and my seemed so easy to break Still, my dear, I would walked you to the very edge of the water And they will all the lines of your face In the face of the of the daughter of my daughter
and darling, we will be fine, but what was and mine Appears to be a sandcastle that the gibbering wave But if it's all just the same, will you say my name: Say my name in the morning, so I know when the wave
I wasn't born of a whistle or from a thistle at twilight No, I was all horns and thorns, sprung out formed, knock-kneed and upright So: of this terror We deserve to know And grow evermore and lighter You have seen me through But I could not that desire
Oh-oh, desire Oh-oh, desire Oh-oh, desire
the top of the flight Of the wide, stairs Through the of my life Do you for me there
