Jackson C. Frank The Visit
when I said you were beautiful I said it there and then
I laid aside all resistance, for goy to say amen
and when you raised your hands to me, a glow there in i
I saw
a baby of the morning, a sweep in natures law
it begins to seem like summer's almost gone
like the wind that blows the leaves out on the lawn
I determined that I loved you, you determined I am he
determined both together, we meet our company
and the feathers of the wild floating to the ground
gliding through the branches, spinning slowly round
as we wait in the mountains for the sun
that revives what's been between us all along
in Cons there was absurdity, in Niece there was the
shore
in Monaco there were casinos, in Asia there was war
and the pipers were American
the peaches was fresh with cream
the people with vibrations, just wild robots by some
stream
and now we grasp imaginary straws
and the shuffle through the see with bright new claws
if what we know can save us then it's time to make the
try
every time they try to make us servant's of some lie
children born of bodies involved with patterned scheme
it's a funny, funny world you live in
till you learn that it's a dream
see serpents on a rocket made of clay
explaining how we where yesterday
still i said that you were beautiful
the childhood of that beauty which belongs to you and
me
and I realize that summer never gone
like the wind
out on the lawn
