Someone blew the words out.
Sparks that flew from tongue or pen or page
Sparks that fell on stone or grass or set the mind ablaze
Those sparks no longer light the stage.
Someone’s caught a spark
And cozens it on their hearth;
Life support for fire, how strange.
Someone blew the words out,
Bank the fire, turn the page.
Sparks that flew from tongue or pen or page
Sparks that fell on stone or grass or set the mind ablaze
Those sparks no longer light the stage.
Someone’s caught a spark
And cozens it on their hearth;
Life support for fire, how strange.
Someone blew the words out,
Bank the fire, turn the page.
