lyrics

His temporary memorials sodden and verging
on miscarrying the crosses of a pale terror
as material as damp fires slung into the humid shrug
of nights that hang
hang, hang
so unreckoned and strange on his theatres of violence
of unholstered advocates sweating a black malaise
tender with malcontent coming unstuck and
peeling away, to hang, hang

hang from the wounds of bare boughs
to pull on the cotton ligatures
that bind and legislate his parchments of absolutes

oh, Father!
oh, Father!

you’ll elect to call for international summits
on the urgency of balance and restoration of
the civility of men in high office
than do just enough

too soon
than do just enough
too soon
too soon
than do just enough
(oh, Father)
even for her alone.
