In the depths of the earth lies a green heart.
It beats in the rhythm of silver.
My sleep did not rest,
It trembled my bed.
I woke up.
It was merely past midnight.
The cemetery in front has no walls,
Only wires.
The gray-filled window
wore the town’s mist-covered bricks.
Industrial landscapes,
inhabited by ghosts, wandering astray.
Stranger, you, who are whooshing over the cement grounds,
Do you recall your thread?
-I’m lost, dear Mama, I’m far ahead, I’m lost, dear Mama, I’m behind as a broken cuckoo.
My head was taken by my clock,
My head was taken by a clock,
A clock took my head,
then a car came,
far too close,
a car came,
far too close,
then a car came in,
far too close,
a car came,
I wasn’t driving.
Then a car came in, far too close, a car came, far too close, a car came in, a car.
Dear stranger, do you recall your head?
– My head was taken by my clocks,
My head was taken by a clock,
My head was,
My head was,
My head, a clock.
Do you hear it ticking?
Tick, tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick,
Eyes are twitching.
Dear God of the dead,
Collect your idle.
Make them pass through,
Funnel down,
Funnel through,
To the chambers.
Trickling drops of dawn’s dew.
Enter the New,
May heads be found,
may heads be lost.
May new come in,
and old be dust.
