lyrics

Mudcrack hands and lichen eyes,
Stained glass spine.
Love you ’til my cheeks won’t dry,
Bathed in brine.
And the seedlings won’t sprout.

Ivy organs, overgrown,
Cut me out.
Shattered glasses, blackened bones,
Lager louts.
And the fox fights his friends.

You told me of the garden,
As we sat in chapel stalls.
I’ll rest my spade by the sycamore tree
Where you taught me to walk
As I clung to your knees.
Now the soil fills your mouth,
And the roots drag you down.
You’re home.

Custard iris, veins in bloom,
Infant’s smile.
Night swim through the moonlit gloom,
Cracked sundial.
Now your hand’s on my chest
As the garden takes hold.
