Beaujolais and sage,
You're the torrent and the time,
Mystery and fake
And all the time we take.
A counter in the sky
The gloomy backdrop set
You're the promise of the seas
The countenance of threat.
A mercury divine
A memory unwind
A mortal lividity
A temporary flush. Shhh.
You're a slip of daylight dawn
The shearer and the shorn
A heartbeat skip and slide away
Ropes that we let fray
You're unecessary soul
A missive never told
You're the sackcloth and the ash
A starlight smash and grab.
