A Wake for the Minotaur - Shearwater

A glorious light

A ladder along the clouds

A spy in the sun

A shout in the street below

Climb down the white road

Into the dark mud

Paper (?) and dusk

A river below the lake

I ride in the flood

A dog with the chain removed

Till the morning rides

Till my memory lies clear

As a tear in the darkness

A hole in the light

And I know where you are

I ride in the blood

I ride on the warming rails (?)

Through canyons of sunlight

And waters across the road

Could I have loved you enough

If I fell in the right way

The world turns and turns

A tear in the darkness

A hole in the light

I’ll breathe in the silence

I’ll laugh till I die
