Strum
D-DU-UDU
Helen  and Heaven Earth  sea and shore
Says  even less  than says  even more than
 Is hearable anyway  even for Sandy
Life  in my ankles lives  in my hands
Own  minds for nothing  'cept laying  of Sandys pit
 Lies  in  a field that  is nearer than handy
Space  for approval  plenty  of room
Join  me in closedown sink  into gloom
 
 Watching  window  see all of the news of the day and
Life  without anger  life  without fear
Own  minds for nothing helped  with ideas
 
 But  the mouth I was feeding was sick on my hand
Waters  voice and wind  as one
Quake  their call  to Moon  and Sun
Sovereign  stars and throws  of light
 Pale before her  queenly mighty ankles
Life  in her ankles  lives  in my hands
Says  even less  than what  even can
 
 Stands  in bold in my eyes
Finally  accepting  deterioration
Strange  men and women
 Allowing themselves  to be shot at the same time
 All hope  and fear by night and day forever pine away
And  every leaf that plumes  her touch
Sails  from branch  to sink  in dust
Hooray!
 What a song.
