What the Magpie Said

The earth was born a frozen bitter twin of light
A mouth full of nasty tasting to wake a sleeping Everlasting
And give the fallen falling
And send the fliers flying
Into the mouth the word to quiet
Into the mind the rifle diet

And all the horses of the moon
Drag both night & day
And as the clouds of eyes awoke
I heard the magpie say:

That "everyone talks of love
Ever since your tale began
Why can't you face the fact
It's never going to be perfect
Little miracle, little miracle
Tell Annie to come over
I'm like...'the snow is falling
The beautiful is not forgotten.'"

And all the horses of the moon
Drag both night & day
And as the clouds of eyes awoke
I heard the magpie say:

That "everyone talks of love
So you failed to raise the dawn
Still you made me, my dear
As if the dawn was already here
So... sing all contagious
And bring your love machine
I'm just a pool of tears
To build the timeless sea."

That "everyone talks of love
While the mother of all the world
Holds out her hands to you
Another chance to win to lose
What did we do babe?
To spin the earth so madly?
To succeed to miserably?
You who I love so dearly?"
