When like a running grave time tracks you downA
Your calm and cuddled is a scythe of hairsB
Love in her gear is slowly through the houseC
Up naked stairs a turtle in a hearseD
Hauled to the domeE
-
Comes like a scissors stalking tailor ageF
Deliver me who timid in my tribeG
Of love am barer than Cadaver's trapH
Robbed of the foxy tongue his footed tapeI
Of the bone inchJ
-
Deliver me my masters head and heartK
Heart of Cadaver's candle waxes thinL
When blood spade handed and the logic timeM
Drive children up like bruises to the thumbN
From maid and headO
-
For sunday faced with dusters in my gloveP
Chaste and the chaser man with the cockshut eyeQ
I that time's jacket or the coat of iceR
May fail to fasten with a virgin oS
In the straight graveT
-
Stride through Cadaver's country in my forceU
My pickbrain masters morsing on the stoneV
Despair of blood faith in the maiden's slimeM
Halt among eunuchs and the nitric stainW
On fork and faceX
-
Time is a foolish fancy time and foolY
No no you lover skull descending hammerZ
Descends my masters on the entered honourZ
You hero skull Cadaver in the hangarZ
Tells the stick 'fail '-
-
Joy is no knocking nation sir and madamN
The cancer's fashion or the summer featherZ
Lit on the cuddled tree the cross of feverZ
Not city tar and subway bored to fosterZ
Man through macadamN
-
I dump the waxlights in your tower domeE
Joy is the knock of dust Cadaver's shootA2
Of bud of Adam through his boxy shiftB2
Love's twilit nation and the skull of stateC2
Sir is your doomD2
-
Everything ends the tower ending andE2
Have with the house of wind the leaning sceneF2
Ball of the foot depending from the sunG2
Give summer over the cemented skinL
The actions' endH2
-
All men my madmen the unwholesome windI2
With whistler's cough contages time on trackJ2
Shapes in a cinder death love for his trickK2
Happy Cadaver's hunger as you takeL2
The kissproof worldM2
