current 93 - an ending lyrics

fourteen long years she lies oh she lies oh
and love as she lies she dreams in white stone
colonnade marbled and balcony empty
a broken band brokenly marks broken time
fourteen years she dreams oh she dreams oh
as dreamer she dreams on, as lover entwines
her limbs grow round his limbs, she drinks from a bottle
she walks through the city she’s lost and then found
fourteen long years, further back scattered
she sits on some beach and reasons with him
in the secret red moist heart, the most loved and most
dark
the flame shaft and fierce dart, the rose-leaf and moss-
part
spreadeagled like starfish, most pain and most fear
like flower of sea-gr-ss, most fragile and harmless
most fiery and bl–dy, most childlike and wrinkled
this starfish, this spider, most wretched and great
”do not cry for me; let me show you the path
on which we neither come nor go”
she smiles at me lake-wide, wet-brown-eyed and dark-
skinned
some dark moon unmoved stalks through our loss
”do not spend this night with me;
i shall make the fallen blind see”
this too another broken toy, from broken girl gift to
broken boy
i ask my sea-blue rushing mother:
”shall she hear the lions roar?”
