Jinny

Diagnosis that's half true, she smells the Limes, on a tree lined avenue, acts like she knows, the ties that bind, blows hard on her bones, hope holds you aloof, she knows that is right, except there's no clue, she won't be alone, in this cosy light, to break out the stones, but has to keep going through cold evening night, when the kids phone in, she sits near the flue, it's not like a crime, for a fire to warm you, thinks she'll be fine, drink leads to ruin, it's just a strange time, to know if you're through? the relatives will arrive, like a roll of the dice the mother mewling, nephew's face tight, they like a brew, whisky beer a little wine, even some moonshine, a place beyond the knife , no need for your fluting, i'll be back to stay, change to a different hue, dream of a life outside, moments to pray, there'll be no rice, i can't explain, when i'm close by you, yon't need me to hide, my thoughts in the ice a wolf howl at the moon, not like coming home, who knows where's the flame, a trapeze of broken runs, does our soul work this way, how can i fasten fame, acting like some walking tomb, can we ever really say, what makes a country tune

Time breeds necessity, the shouting and fighting, feeds this unease, doesn't need the news, to tell what is right, has enough to do, winter's like the heating, lilac as the night, who needs to heed it, find another avenue, her face is bright, who needs this curfew, the walls are like treacle, what's down the line, before he sees her, worrying about freedom, her eyes near the fire, cold in the season, good reasons to leave, wonders if she's right, to head for the sea, thinking she'll be happy.

Will you arrive the same, beneath the trees, each time we separate, remember the times, bars stacked like wheat, we sat drinking wine, now a morning shame, it's not just my feet, in this tired game, now i'm fine, i dream of the sea, sail away on the line, what does it take, with my dawn novena, to have you back again, a smile like a hurricane, your body a treat, see you hesitate, why can’t you remain, the sun rises uneven, cars fill up their lanes, won't wait for evening.

You say time to leave, don't really want to know, not part of your creed, you just want away, to live or die alone, dig your own grave, you make our love bittersweet, no human need for home, children, big dreams, shifting sounds of the sea, you dance on moonlit bones, i want to stay pretty, sing along and pray, the only song i own, i am right to state, can you hear me keening, locked to an iron stove, like the rock of Euripides, please don't push me, I'm only skin and bone, who are you to believe, you arbitrate my soul.

Fear is dark around my sight, makes me hollow ancient flame, wait for lamps to shine, when i'm near to true, i'll be back to stay, change to a different hue, dream of a life outside, moments to pray, drink a little sweet wine, there'll be no avenues, i can't explain, when i'm close by you, laughing in a better clime, no one's to blame, for part of me dying, don't need fire to hide, my thoughts in train, will return on the tide, beyond the knife is right, need you to say, don't turn away in silence, we'll go home again.

A broken tort on my knees, will you take the child, can't you let us be, when you bring this news, fury in your smile, say it's not just you, famed, broken, ill at ease, you ignore all the signs, believe what you believe, even if not true, a power beyond my sight, you always claim the virtue, to wrap around your misery, those whispered prayers at night, thrown across the lee, the terms you foresee, becomes heaven's insight, lawyers act with speed, before you came for me, asked to carry the light, of love across the sea, what gave you the right ? .
