[00:07.95] Hurt once and for all into silence.
[00:11.77] A long pain ending without a song to prove it.
[00:18.05] Who could stand beside you so close to Eden,
[00:22.98] When you glinted in every eye the held-high
[00:25.73] razor, shivering every ram and son?
[00:34.56] And now the silent loony bin, where
[00:38.59] The shadows live in the rafters like
[00:40.64] Day-weary bats,
[00:43.29] Until the turning mind, a radar signal,
[00:47.02] lures them to exaggerate
[00:50.03] Mountain-size on the white stone wall
[00:53.64] Your tiny limp.
[01:00.50] How can I leave you in such a house?
[01:04.25] Are there no more saints and wizards
[01:06.51] to praise their ways with pupils,
[01:09.36] No more evil to stun with the slap
[01:12.22] of a wet red tongue?
[01:17.30] Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
[01:21.20] and rest because he had finally come?
[01:30.18] Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher.
[01:34.37] I have entered under this dark roof
[01:37.82] As fearlessly as an honoured son
[01:42.18] Enters his father's house.
