He Lay Naked

A broom cries
It cries dust and the trust is presented to an unworthy soul
Stars forgotten in the Ferris wheel night

Ignore warnings from the fire alarm
It was set off by a boy with no hope
His excuses fluttered from his back pocket on folded paper

Archery took up
By your granddaughter
She was shorter than him not in size
His demise stemmed from aim
Shame on the lips of his mother

He bunked off the afternoon to go and talk nostalgia with his brother
He thought he'd dance in his garden but the boy was lacking a lover
So he lay naked, naked as the day he was born on the bathroom floor
For five hours
Staring and ceiling, wanting to fly away

The old man
Mistook his time for the landings
In and egg cup he lay he shards of soap
Whilst the young nurse tended to his precious time

A till leaked under the arm of the sprinter
A splinter retired the carpenter
Revolution hunger solved with a restaurant bill

He bunked off the afternoon to go and talk nostalgia with his brother
He thought he'd dance in his garden but the boy was lacking a lover
So he lay naked, naked as the day he was born on the bathroom floor
For five hours
Staring and ceiling, wanting to fly away
Staring and ceiling, wanting to fly away

Staring and ceiling, wanting to fly away
Staring and ceiling, wanting to fly away
