Lost bits of information and Judas flowers
Bloom under the roots, no one picks them:
Wobbly tables, anyone, or shaky souls?
Stop with karma, please, stop with la-di-da words,
It’s just a spat between the sun and moon,
Not perjury, not life -
Hey, wait, you picked her up in a seedy club
Where she sluts in a corner
On the lookout for an easy con?
They’ve got light fingers, fear, the moon,
But only dosh they get,
Shags, dosh, that’s how they learn
Desire shuns waste,
Like ravens he’s hungry only for eyes -
Or so a French poet once said -
Well, give him eyes, if short of them
Give him souls, yours of course
And he’ll be off, a glint overnight -
Yet you think him a light forcing skies -
Yet you think him life -
Well, almost, or the very first time.
