I want to love you now
I want to love you then
I want to love you never
And then start again
All the ribbons of my belt
Go flying in the sky
When you lean down to laugh at me
From your high place
I want to be the fool
The one you send away
After you’ve worn him out
Every other day
I want to be the rose
You wave at with a yawn
Limping on a spiny crutch
Across the blazing lawn
Look what you’ve done to me
As if you cared at all
Once I lived behind a line
But now I’ve passed it
I won’t come back to say goodbye
I’ll never leave you
Until I’m the other man
And you will be someone’s bride
Sit in my memory
When you’re in pain
When you’re in pleasure
Sit again
Thank you for your courtesy
And for your drunken kiss
I’m more drunk than you’ll ever be
I hate to tell you
And every night is tightly cemented
Until you strike and lift yourself
Against me like a tide
To break the wall of lies
And push me down forever
To places where I find
The fossils of my brotherhood
The smooth ones and the spiny ones
And then comes a holy moment
With clear sobriety
I see that we are made for chains
Though every atom is free
I see that we are made for chains
Though every atom is free
And even beauty meets a limit
As can be seen clearly
Then summer has your golden hair
And autumn has your ghost
And we are at a juicy feast
Where no one is the guest
Then we start to form again
It takes a bit of you.
I circle around your privacy.
For many lonely miles
