lyrics

i can tell you who’s going to win
before the starting gun is fired
trees sway like those carrying
coffins at huguenot funerals

on this charcoal flooded
street of my birth and death
which slopes as scales
you will not fly your flag

and they trail by 15 lengths
what lets you forget can be poured
into stained glass, improvised as
bombs through windows, boxing is training

from the tv slips insipid
deadweight glittering lies
which not even my corpse can
balance on a raining morning

favourite until the corner
they’ll break your legs and
lock up the playgrounds
euthanised in a ditch

the shovel throws dirt
as i open the door early
with the sun struck down
rising as dying flowers
