Lyrics
Hamartia
Red brick fence and picket tents,
The clinking glasses compliment the chef.
Prologue ,epilogue, mannequins grasping print,
Removed by plain virginity and broken verse.
Seven decades of reflection cannot temper
An edge forged in the stillness of the womb.
When Pentecost flared and dealt his ruin
In each corner of His passive, favoured room.
Mirror mirror, off the shelf,
Uncorked, emptied and returned in style.
Clockwise, otherwise, determined by the self,
Let the hour last a second so the liquid can defile.
Draw a circle in the sand, trace and unlock by the hand.
Lift and peer, to the ink, see till dominoes reverse
The pipers all see blindfolded, the cannon leads the band,
And the ball drops through the shore-line, on the sand you’ll find the hearse.
(chorus)
Swinging by the well, in the shadow of the grain,
Through the pane, through the pain…we must plunge should we remain.
By the well…By the well…
Widdershins, I walk, around the face
Past eyes, no orbs, only windowless protection
Though multi layered multitude, I’m falling through the space,
And life burns, and rises to the surface,
Unwound, run down, but still a smile,
Which cannot stretch to purpose.
Favour me with calloused hands, I’m kneeling on the brink
My arms are numb and weary, through the clear my ship it sinks.
The legendary five-day thirst strike
“Remember the dead” the television jeers.
Tapered at one end, wide at the shoulder
The epitaph, in glass : “Aged 8 years”
So you’ve bled your last, the waters recede
As they watch you drown, behind fences.
And the only thing that’s real, is this water-coloured spiel
Humanity the backdrop to my senses.
