The Heart Full of Eyes

Lyrics

The heart full of eyes
 And drunken words
 For warships
 The peeled-back black bell
 The Queen of Queendom
 And sandface
 The broken and wrecked heart
 Beating deeper than the night watcher
 The myth you kept close
 
 To your breast
 Then I am kind
 Or some kind
 Eternal hello
 Under Sassania
 And the kings of dust
 Their pineal lineage
 Transmuted by gorse and geese
 The ticks and the lice and the five bridges
 All playing monkey
 In my heart
 And gathered dogs for tea
 And tune them into ladders
 For the dog-star ascent
 To the wretched galaxy
 That is ever Neverland
 
 Plato wrote of you in Grotto
 Saurat wrote of you in Chartres
 Soso spake Greek to Peter
 Piling her hooks on seeds
 ♪
 This is the shed
 In which I keep the dead
 The open mouth for mouths and rocks
 The house of beloved mice
 With whom I could not lie or lay
 The Graal whom I could not sing sweetly enough
 To touch out the thunder and argent
 Lightning washing over the love
 And brotherhood and wisdom
 That shuttled away down the Golden Pumpkin River
 The mist drowned over my eyes and heart
 The mist took me by utter surprised
 
 Cats who snuggled and cuddled me into the nix and the nox
 And knocked at the door
 And knocked me onto the floor
 Below her, I fell
 Into a terminal explosion from apples and Edens
 And fed the swans once or twice
 And gave rides to the red rager
 And on that fragile roundabout
 Not far from heaven
 I saw the sun swallow with a yip and a yes
 And saw the lint glint in her eyes
 And the owl shot-shot with paraboxes
 Into that teen twine, we fell together
 And shouted and shuddered
 And held breasts and kissed lips
 And dreamt of Kingdoms and Queendoms
 And matched wine with fires and switched funnels
 Snatched open pain, open
