Quenata
Who hasn't heard of toil,
or the future's clink,
a stone within your thoughts,
houses bought on schemes,
moved in the space of a blink,
a furious search for ease,
a warm place to atone,
bedrooms painted pink,
a husband bellows 'are you home',
by sun, moon, your sea,
hardly lets you think,
if any time for certainty,
Wurlitzer noise and bright clothes,
scares you at the ice rink,
a lover makes you groan,
flickering inside your soul,
it keeps away the drink,
whoever does not know,
allows you alone to sing.

Do you welcome your hosts,
with a sad eyed gaze,
and beautiful soul,
it sifts through your bones,
within all your ways,
unseeing that you're alone,
others chase ghosts,
for some kingdom unnamed,
you're simply broke,
for one who's atoned,
you'd gamble everything,
to stay off the Horse,
like a daughter brought home,
you’ll marry what remains,
even if cloned,
drunk at the bus place,
you ask for a smoke,
no longer the Queen,
in your white robes.

You deliver what you would,
this is why you bled,
before the evening dusk,
see life through your gaze,
the oranges and the bed,
just turn abound your days,
yellow sand, tidal wood,
don't rush to send,
that hard face to the mud,
be aware of gentle ways,
for your own good,
not for others' praise,
persuade your lovers enough,
if that makes sense,
fire will never absolve blood,
Miguel de Unamuno said,
a little love,
does not bring death,
but opens up the flood

In a blue cigarette haze,
knowing what has to be,
truth as usual slides away,
lies awash on the coast,
sheltered by the sea,
asks what i love the most,
dares me talk of open ways,
you say you'd crawl on your knees,
if that's the case,
Sunday face bright without loss,
the house bought by Daddy,
doesn't discount cost,
it takes a wronged certainty,
to wipe my face turn a cheek,
think everything of me,
ask should you make tea,
your life sublime,
why is it so easy to lie,
say where i've been ?

Lonely strangled by car hire,
kids kicking around the street,
try to feel inspired,
don't listen to trouble,
shoot the breeze,
think of laughter past lovers,
you can play with fire,
but don't let them see,
what's going on inside,
it's only the rubble,
of what you want to be,
there is no double,
forget your desire,
of a life running free,
or reaching the sky,
if it makes you wild,
beneath evening trees,
give yourself time,
some things never cease.

Chained to their buffers,
someone will say,
we've got your number,
if you listen,
you’ll hear them again,
make your eyes glisten,
but why care to bother,
sheltered by rain,
dream of other lovers,
drinking from chrystal,
you've been in the game,
never mind the whistles,
dish holy couples,
blow fire out with flame,
you know how it's done,
please don't suffer,
a lifetime of pain,
listening to who's trouble,
this time is to praise.

i firmly determinedly state,
you have to atone,
she cocks an eye hesitates,
looks at the trees,
smiles at the cobblestones,
says just because i'm free,
swears emotion is blackmail,
that i'm an old crone,
who calmly undulates,
the handle of her disease,
asks for another loan,
my dignity shot in pieces,
she puzzles at my face,
is it because you're alone,
i scream down the place,
she's poised won't stay,
the psyche in me drones,
you're the fool i say,
stone within my bones. .
