Cursory Rhyme
from Fight In The Wolf Hosted by Daniel Reilly
Cradle my head just right Make shapes by the bedroom light Be patient and well tonight Take care that my health’s alright Tuck in my teddy tight And dust where the bed bugs bite Please say one last precious rhyme And waken me when its time XXX Sketch lines I’ll fill with joy Tell me I’m your little boy Protect me from hurtful words And shelter me from the world Soothe me til I’m at ease Good roots build the highest trees With you here I’ll never fear We’ll shoot beasts with silver beads XXX Mend this gown with broken scissors Upend my frown with smoke and mirrors I tend the mound where hope still withers I fed the hound my only slivers By roots I’m bound in earth malicious The wolf now growls at any issues He chews on doubt, finds stress delicious And looks around with tense suspicions XXX Place gratitude in my hand And my heart will understand We’ll pray for that second chance Create a new circumstance We’ll paper the cracks and scuffs And tape up the damaged stuff We’ll shake out the tarnished rugs Replace all the shattered bulbs XXX Send the clown back when I falter And let me down with threads I altered I pencilled out what pen had ordered So when I drown drop cents in water My heart stopped cold to kill what’s rotten I glanced below at things forgotten A cache of gold that sinks to bottom My hands let go and swim the torrent XXX
