Mannekin Hope, Mannekin Hope A herd of unicorns Trampled the pope You are armies and legions come I will not stop Bring me a demon to spin a fireside riddle I am the Weaver's daughter

Milky White 02:57
How milky white his teeth are A lonely lantern swings in his mind And flickers behind his eyes
3.
I'm a dog racing blindly over the hills at night Howling banshee at the stars and moonlight. Give me images, Appearing through the dark green leaves Sparkling with the morning dew, As I glide gracefully over the rolling hills To reach you. While a black beast is smiling In the dawn's light It paces calmly outside the iron gate There is no fence that keeps him in. I see on the horizon, past the hills Just to the North, A silent town asleep in the sun I turn my head towards the blue sky Gathering clouds Awaiting a world of "Welcome to Decay". It gave a little girl To give to me To give to you So that all might be remembered Might be reconciled in you But it's not the same And she came out of the world crying, "I'm no longer welcome and I don't know why". You shift and flicker Stuck as shards In all my lovers. I'm pregnant with the virtues of the past "Or dust," she says. The red cardinal Or the carnival Lapsing sideways Forging where our dark dreams are going Through the past and out at last He's a horse-drawn carriage Through your wants and ways With a wink and a smile And a gone-tomorrow Ships, near the shore, Were hurting to reach the crest of a wave Where seagulls there, Feathered in fancy flight, Bounced off the waves In shear delight. Here is the place where you found us It is that place from where I speak to you now Without frozen regret I love them more than memory, More than the dawn, And the bleeding horizon, The life in long-living laughter, The dream and the chase, All the merzy doats in the world. For them the star, The frightful star That let shine your little love-light Into the midmost midnight And find the serpent there, An ouroboros, The dew and the frost In the morning in it's wakeful state. Watch over me Watch over them In milky twilight With stars wrapped around our heads And feathers in our beds.

Come now Come down
5.
An all-pervading, Warm and soft, Close and comforting Sorrow Your sight stretches out To lift the veil of images That dance before your eyes How can a thing ever be known? It can only become And float lazily for a little while Above the ether Before sinking with it's Earthly name-anchor Into the sparkling silver stream Of memory As you wonder, "What dazzling fish carried The Crystal Spirit Mundi? What siren called my name from some far-off shore?"

Tiny Music 05:13
You once said that everything is becoming. Then you went over the hill and far, far away With your tiny music. My heart no longer thinks of you And your tiny music Where every kind of becoming stood still. And I wonder, only, If I knew you within or without. I see now that you have gone to the North, Blown by the wind, And to the South, And to the East, And to the West Where, perhaps, everything is becoming. And I stand at the carnal point. I stand at your cardinal point. Where my heart can no longer hear you. And I no longer think of you And your tiny music.

"Wake up, wake up, you drowsy sleeper. Wake up, wake up, it's almost day. How can you stand to sleep and slumber When your own true lovers going away?" From Sheneland to Shadowland Led by my consumptive-faced Mary Jane. Don't forget, dear friend, as we slip away Gurgling on the breast milk of an empty dream, This place is nowhere and nothing in between. To the feather bed I lie in To the feather bed I sleep and die in There is still a place that is still Even as they say, The sleepers, the ones who dose you and sleep you, All functionality and smiles and bares it "Keep still, you stupid child. (I was there) Now be a good child. (I was always there) You can't fight forever". You can't fight Forever. (where everything goes)

Are you awake? Are you asleep? In the dreamtime In the sleepy meantime With starlight And moonshine While fireflies lazily inscribe this word in the night, "ABADAKEDABRA" Are you awake? Are you asleep? (dreaming) In the dreamtime In the sleepy meantime With starlight And moonshine While fireflies lazily inscribe this word in the night, "ABADAKEDABRA" Are you awake? Are you asleep?
