I Could Not Shift the Shadow

I could not shift the shadow
 Or form sugar for your halos
 Channelled table-taps from ghost gods
 Prowled and slept in steep ships
 ♪
 Mixed mythology with pathology
 Tossed a coin and hymned the groves
 Then did you scent the wind drop
 And count the codes of seeds?
 ♪
 And did you call the night "bright"
 And drink the sex of stars?
 Or might you cartoon Judas
 And cast in flower rooms?
 ♪
 Your breath flickered next to my breath
 Humming noise and rhyming sweet songs
 That your mouth had heaped up like rivers
 And buried deeper in your hearts
 ♪
 Unzipped Æeons and cradled antlers
 Opened your face and gave your grave
 Opened True Moon opened thousand nights
 And paths under mountain flames
 ♪
 Spelled the gardens as the cock crowed
 And spoke slowly as the laughter rose
 In dragonflies and pussy willows
 Dreamt your lips like Kings and Queens
 ♪
 So open up your mouth
 And in your invisible church
 Under sun while cats purr
 Gorgeous dreams under dark nights
 And tender rhymes under swallow flight
 And lovely bird-song sings
 ♪
 And what is the cost of sand in Anarch?
 What is the cost of blood as mist?
 What is the cost of the child in your heart
 With his castle-face?
 Who is the coat Teller wore?
 And tell me your great name
 In torrents of birds
 Kiss me your real Name
 And wait for the sun to bring you open
 ♪
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
 And bare your naked church
 Into my mouth
