lyrics

In the Blue House

In the blue house,
Where you raged and wept
With spots of darkness
Clinging to the bed.
The pillars holding
Your body cracked,
The foundations shaken,
But still the flowers bloomed.
The Veras oozed their soft scent
Into a sultry night
With gunshot stars collapsing.

In the blue house,
Where you raged and wept
And skeletons rattled
Their bones
Behind closed doors.
That withered leg
Shrinking beneath the folds
Of gypsy skirts.
But still the dogs barked,
And market cries
Dissipated with a hiss
Into the empty streets.
Leaving shuddering marigolds
And lotus.

In that blue house,
Where you raged and wept
And left sealed
With a kiss from death.
But still the broken vial
Cracked beneath our feet
And the womb ached empty.
