Those cold words that stitched me dreaming Cuckold in another’s thoughts Swept me lustwards past deceiving And down into remorse An ancient art the twist of weaving Untruths from a lover’s breast The needle stings the weft of wedding And leaves me darned instead The fleece of darkness silky silent Wraps me lonely in it’s arms A counterpane of gone forever A cradle for my bones |
