Boys - The Autumns

I awake in dreams

Slight fingers cling and wring

When I go, you’ll go with me

To mother tease

With those eyes aloft in frieze

When I go

Those boys got big

Once soiled, you’re twice the prig

Oh but they don’t

My bloodless queen

Cold rivers wash you clean

Until they don’t

Crank the clock that counts

But my pearl, don’t count me out

When I go, you’ll know

Trust me

How mother sees

With those eyes aloft in frieze

I don’t know
