Time will bring everything
And then harvest everything from us
The hour is upon us
My heart lashed to the deck
I’ll let it sink into bliss with the wreck
Then you’ll take my secrets one by one
Disassemble each ‘til all are gone
And how I’ll thrill at how it’s done
No ball will fall
In a muddle of ice and ginger
I will snap my fingers
My heart will spit and scratch
As I abandon it to its happiest match
Then we’ll see each other as we should
Every shadow shared and understood
While we still have time, let us do good
Coiled tight, moved by light
To delay is to beckon danger
Why fight nature
My heart bound to the track
I’ll leave it rapt under thunderous black
Then we’ll count our hours in the sun
And accept their gifts ‘til there are none
And how we’ll thrill at how it’s done
