I tried to tell you, I didn't know how to stay
You believe she can see through, cutting at the silent clay
A relief, beckon deep blue, fettered in the magnet sun
Eat the gun as it feeds you, spitting up the oxygen
Once again
Once again

Once again, empty horses gallop through the violet door
Follow red, crooked courses, shadows on the moonlit floor
O my stars, winged creatures gathering in silken height
Like the last human teachers

I remember building an energy shield
In your room, like a temple, swallows in the windless field

Very thin, with your mother, tall as a pale green tree
Very wild, bright as winter, rising with a prism key
And a child to deliver, taken with the blood and vine
As the first little angel
