Making the beast sing to<br />
the birds BY PAUL GRANT<br />
Deep blue<br />
Night<br />
Of girl eyed<br />
Sadness,<br />
A sweet little<br />
End of the world<br />
But its not fondness<br />
That I find her with,<br />
The angels of my better nature<br />
Lay long dead in the corners<br />
A bottle<br />
Could untangle<br />
The fist from my heart,<br />
Bust the prowling night open<br />
Like a lovers lip<br />
So<br />
I will let<br />
The blue deepen<br />
Through all its cool shades<br />
Let the smoke<br />
Crawl low<br />
Along the ceiling<br />
Let the bruise<br />
Swell into view<br />
Until somebody<br />
Notices<br />
Kisses the colour<br />
Of my distance<br />
Says<br />
It's alright now<br />
I am here<br />
With you.<br />
