The Unanswered Question
03:45

Did you ask me a question?
I don´t think I´ve heard
A dog barked at the sun
That was stuck in a cloud
Days stack up in silence
Like trains in a tunnle
The fountains have frozen
In the empty white square
A dog barks at the water
That spans the still air
Turning a corner
I see you´re still there
Did you ask me a question?
It’s high time I heard:
The sun in pink sandals
Paints the back of a bird.
The fountains are purple
The dog finds a bone
The square’s a dark circle
That turns on its own.
Your voice is a question
In the silence we share;
Your shadow’s a mirror:
I see I’m still there.
I ask you a question
I don´t think you hear
But the water is falling
The sun disappears.

Creatures

Thousand different creatures
Out in the water
They said there were green ones
They said there was blue
I thought I saw violet
A glimmer of scarlet
Their colour is green
Their bodies are blue
Their vision is violet
Their dreams are all scarlet
And they wouldn't go far
And they wouldn't go anywhere
There shouldn't be green ones
Call them off
There shouldn't be blue ones
Call them off
There shouldn't be violet
Call it off
There shouldn't be scarlet
Call it off
There is no excuse for the light of day
There is no excuse for the sighing of
Thousand different creatures
Out in the Water
And they wouldn't go far
And they wouldn't go anywhere
You take them all

To Deirdre
02:59

To Deidre who loved the pond
The sun on the water
The swan on the sun on the water
The swan is as old as the pond
And the rain makes little circles
And the fish are swimming in circles
And the swan is turning in circles
Around the sun
To Deirdre who loved the pond
To Deirdre who’d seen it all
The trees in the alley
The wind in the trees in the alley
The trees are as firm as the sun
Yet the leaves start changing colours
And the pond is covered with colours
But the branches reach out for more
And the wind is yearning for more
And she was always longing for more
So the water found her an answer

When Most I Wink
02:37

When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.
