lyrics

I am home again and the outside
With tongue-wet leafy limes
It arches its eyebrow
And gestures “About time”
About time it is, you know for
The reflective world of rain
And the roundly-uddered welcoming
Of night-blot's soft refrain.

I am home again and the inside
All flush-walled and beam
Clears its floor-creak throat
And it sighs in kettle-steam.
About time it is no doubt for
Hedges, beaded in rosehip
Time for the greenly grassflush
And the snaking of raindrip.

I am home again and the garden
With cross path arms, it tuts.
And checks again the sundial.
“About time”, “no buts”.
About time for earthworms and
Shuffling crowsfeet
Upon the moss upon the conker tree
And lichen on the beech.

About time for crowsteps
And slates beneath the soak
On top of the singingly
Lingering house, old as oak.
Now I sit where you once sat
In anytime-old air
Soon I will go to London
And I will sing for you there.
