jump little children - pigeon lyrics
the brackish roots of river pine
anch-r-d in my curving spine
bend to the whims of wind’s design
and i lay down at your side
above the brine of reds in clay
a swollen angel oaks bouquet
in the red-winged blackbird’s eyes of grey
a saltw-ter tear resides
but the sand and the earthen parapet
silts into this rivulet
the bluffs and the banks will soon forget
a single tear was cried
and in this sp-wning ground it blooms
the nectar and the petal plumes
a purple swallow now exhumed
from the river that has died
palmately spread delphinium
bachelor-b-ttoned malva comes
to be your lilied bride
the crimson of rinoculous
gardenia and dianthus
the bloodless ivory water-lotus
sweetly opens wide
but even the most fondly named
rooted and green leaves framed
surely must come to be reclaimed
beyond the great divide
without a voice left to sing
with waterlogged and heavy wing
with peaceful eyes unsuffering
a pigeon floats in the tide
