Thread Song




Thread song

I come to you
when the day has been dark
and my night grows long
and my words
my words have come down
and touched on the ground
of all our possibilities
on the sound
a poor heart makes
on the end of a phone
in an Irish port
when there's no one alive
or above in heaven
listening
or if they were they couldn't hear
your cry
they are such words
as no active sense can be made of
and no course of action
could resolve
neither now or never
only now we know
there is no end
of string
and no resolution to
the lives we lead

or to the songs we sing
