Whisper
When the wind comes in
Whispering sin
I try to escape
Through the walls
with my fingers clasping fast
I am prey to your grasp
I cannot let myself
sink
The pull is a puddle
With stone on the ground to conceal
no deeper well
can spin so hard
and the hurry spins my head
your eyes
nothing spectacular
sparkle now
and run away
where are they now?
while the little boy
swaps with man
takes their place
takes your body
the way I
I don’t think about it
not
not one jot
not a tickle
not a whisper
lead me to your bedroom
tell me it means nothing
lie that body on me
and hold me tight
…
don’tsinkdon’tsink
this is the way it is
and nothing more
and nothing
could be more vague
she grins
she does not know
I know
to know you
no way
no
my heart is not yours
and
how do they do this now?
I cannot see
a sober kiss
it seems ridiculous
people don’t do that now
I’m sure
for that was for my younger years
when the wind whisper
would sing.
