lyrics

Again today do you notice yourselves
Deconstructing beauty

The skull of a Georgian
Home is made splinters and rubble

What of my ribcage
Which cradles your wrecking ball

What of the ripe-lime grass
Burdened with dust

And the hearty thistle
Thriving chest-high
Its spiny marina of fuchsia rafts
Bound to take off

I have no raft but I have
Constructed you a verse

Small fingers in passing go swimming
In a birdbath of quicklime

The courier steps on a barrow of debris
And it squirms like a cat
