Lyrics
Whirly-Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whirly-bird unzip my mind
So nuts and bolts spill out with
Twisted wires and shattered bulbs and
Bits of glass emotion copper cures.
The jangled snarl of every day
Unwound and fixed upon the board
Where parts and wholes together lash
Component dreams and slabs of light
All fused within the silver globe
That swirls on top of my whirly-bird.
Unzip my mind so nuts and bolts
Spill out with twisted wires
Shattered bulbs and bits of glass
Emotion copper cures
The jangled snarl of every day
Unwound.
And fused a top the globe is my
Whirly-bird.
