raven's eye
by Tricky Singer
What are we ?
I story you and you story me
As we weave this fate unkind
In pursuit of normal
Of clockwise formal
Of bloodied limbs making things
Eyes down you clowns
This is getting serious
Are you oblivious to my need for
money
money
money
Cut by cut
Pill by pill
We chase the
"Oh no not that"
Not right
Not fit for the light
Will we ever be right?
No
This quarry we hunt
In pursuit on a punt
Is a madman’s dream
Sight unseen
Impossible
Implausible
Improbably a lie
While the waters of life
Drip from the cup
Of you and I
Fe Fi Fo Fum
I smell the blood of ableist chum
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Like a giant of old
Eating the conundrum
Let us pause
To reflect
That we are not we when we genuflect
That new gods circle the edge of a crack
That new gods circle the edge of a crack
That new gods circle the edge of a crack
Voices of the tweening
Ghosts of the dreaming
Inhabited by other than you and I
Blinking in the corner of a raven's eye
What are we?
I story you and you story me
As we weave this fate unkind
In pursuit of normal
Of clockwise formal
Of bloodied limbs making things
Eyes down you clowns
This is getting serious
Are you oblivious to my need for
money
money
money
Cut by cut
Pill by pill
We chase the
"Oh no not that"
Not right
Not fit for the light
Will we ever be right?
No
This quarry we hunt
In pursuit on a punt
Is a madman’s dream
Sight unseen
Impossible
Implausible
Improbably a lie
While the waters of life
Drip from the cup
Of you and I
Fe Fi Fo Fum
I smell the blood of ableist chum
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Like a giant of old
Eating the conundrum
Let us pause
To reflect
That we are not we when we genuflect
That new gods circle the edge of a crack
That new gods circle the edge of a crack
That new gods circle the edge of a crack
Voices of the tweening
Ghosts of the dreaming
Inhabited by other than you and I
Blinking in the corner of a raven's eye
What are we?
