Bluebird Romance

Bluebird Romance

Be not deceived by bitter sea-forces
Gestures and forms of ill-gotten store
Restless and tired, trammeled by expectations
We stand alone on a road forgotten by lore

Bitter wind blows, Bitter Root remembers
Dance halls and wine, winter of deep remorse
Faceless, unformed, ruthless imagination
Clay-bound rewards for victims and victors of chance

Lost and alone in a deep-time vacation
Famine of thought in a numb weary dance
Captives of song, tumbleweed congregations
You know I could never resist your bluebird romance
