I could drown within the waters of ambivalence Welling to the surface as undiscovered country The spoils of war, fought upon another shore Would I become the frail and frightened charge? Empty of the games that seem to loom so large Sweeping from my feet into the victors sweet Drinking down the brine, a tea of pure moonshine My fingers strangle in awards of swords An untied lifeline Somehow shipwrecked, beached upon an island reached Carrying the boundary lines, and buoys tied together Parched articulation sunburned in the deepest contemplation Crying out into the surfs, a bottled note to unknown turfs Signals crossed and lost into the fathoms of a squall Tenderly I know the sound and bound my voice into the call Would you see the same in someone else’s claim? Or simply kiss the hand that you so blindly now dismiss Or hold me close Arid skies, much richer in the tear denies Keynotes flecked on speedboats bumps the plane I am calling out your name, into the wind Clearing you a path, dusted from the aftermath Clean to slip the sandals of a prince, a sun block’s wince And given time, the real love of my life sign Cast away, into the bottom of the bay Asleep where all the catfish play Or here within my arms Copyright Kkh 9/21/03 |

Somehow, this seems appropriate to float back up towards the top, given the recent duet by Magnus and Cpat Hair. |
