Ebb Songtext

von Ed Tullett

Plane, your ivory dealt,
Stubborn message in your health,
Mirror me, a wealth
Unsheathed in maraud, in mouth.
Trawled in starry mercy,
When white of eye deserts me,
Stays hidden in your birthing
Of love you clouded in.
A beach raid of sorts,
Marine ebb you'd caught,
Ghosted and belonged,
You lasted us.
From then it snowed of sun,
Dark kisses, cheeks you'd run
With red, the smoke begun
And lingered in eighty lungs.
Navy swatches of your skin
Sink gloom and patterned sin;
Your posthumous Berlin,
Your aching seething in.
The dark had shrunk your shoulders,
Your shadow ever older,
The colour earned in lucid,
Colder lips by now.
