I Can Hear A Hairpin Fall…

I can hear a hairpin fall In the waters where our love did flow I can hear rivers running backward's In there ebb and flow— I can hear in our hearts, a clouds rage And I see the lightning striking The hollowed-out stump, Where all our blood together kissed. Where our life sunk roots staid I can hear their silence thumping's grow Like it was breathing deep Within a bud, that'll never open I can feel a shoulder blade's sharp shove. Oh, you shove me back underground Like a crocus fearful of the frozen snow. And I feel in this glittering rain Of tears, you feel some of the same pain. Oh, I hear the forget me not seed Crying from the ground Oh, I feel the ghost that's only a veil away Blowing on the same embers, which still hold? Our love as the sunshine did yesterday. Where our life sunk roots staid I remember the hairpins fall In the waters where our love did flow In the waters where our love did flow In their ebb and flow—
