Penelope
Needle-eyes, what have you seen
Suffering in scarlet thread
To flood the delta and split the seams
Of the irises' Sea of Reeds
I'll not hope your burden hold
With the scales in motion and it all unsaid
Scars unknown under your clothes
From foot to head, foot to head
Of your single bed out at sea,
Penelope
Your sky is full, Galaxidi your swimming pool
You'll climb alone
You'll make it home
Back to me, oracle
One mark off, heaven-sent
Treasure chest, adornment
Temple Meads, 2am
Dressed in tan and cream and Time Team grey
Dream the day back to sleep
Penelope
You who see deeper than
Griffin's wing, butcher's hand
You who sing Townes Van Zandt
Like you understand everything
Tune your violin
Play for me
Penelope
Suffering in scarlet thread
To flood the delta and split the seams
Of the irises' Sea of Reeds
I'll not hope your burden hold
With the scales in motion and it all unsaid
Scars unknown under your clothes
From foot to head, foot to head
Of your single bed out at sea,
Penelope
Your sky is full, Galaxidi your swimming pool
You'll climb alone
You'll make it home
Back to me, oracle
One mark off, heaven-sent
Treasure chest, adornment
Temple Meads, 2am
Dressed in tan and cream and Time Team grey
Dream the day back to sleep
Penelope
You who see deeper than
Griffin's wing, butcher's hand
You who sing Townes Van Zandt
Like you understand everything
Tune your violin
Play for me
Penelope
