saw the king

about

language melts when the king is viewed, birds and the singer are bleeding

lyrics

Saw the king through the windows
looking out through the windows at the court yard garden
his gaze carried on the wind over the almond trees
the king threw the windows
at the tree and the glass shattered
and the birds’ blood was blue
and mine was too
red to be blue,
I fell as though dead
oh the clods of blue mud
the clouds of blue scud,
the wind opened and blew the skies blue

saw the king looking at me
through the blood bloom on my brow
and the gloom sagging the birds dead
but not I
after all I was only bleeding
