Sunset (The Death Of Thumbelina)

Four four almost finite

When I peeked inside

I did not see chalice or grail

God wasn't there

In the darkness

The curtain tearn

I already saw

Black ships ate the sky

And flying moons

Scare children

The dusk blue breaks

And the bluebottles laugh

The trees all fall and I hear collapse

But smile and nod and watch the dim sunset

Whilst the cocktails clash

Bleak glass domes

Make shivers in my peacock eye

And I am all Thumbelina

I died for you all

And if you took the time

To take your time

And sleep this time all the way home

And watch the egg-timers bubble and wink

There's a face behind a gun

That sleeps behind the owl

The matinee is showing in town sunset

And we tumble into the cardboard sunset

Dim

Birdsong

Teethless

Sunset

The flowers smile
