Velvet
I followed you
And lost my mind
All the way to death
A virgin in sickness
Tell me things
I wouldn't understand
Goodbye child of God
Where did I stand?
Nowhere
It's not me whose flying
Under your wing
It's not the cuckoo
You hear sing
I worshipped you
In a Howard St. basement
All the days we kept
Wrapped in velvet
My friend, I can't see you
So long bright star,
Corvus Minkar
It's not me whose hanging
From your string
It's not Saturn
In your ring
On the way to let the water answer
Off and running with a river dancer
Only to trip on root
Of hesitation
Angels fall on a cloud
In oxidation
