I have never known peace
like the damp grass that yields to me
I have never known hunger
like these insects that feast on me
A thousand teeth and
yours among them I know
Our hungers appeased
our heart beats becoming slow
We'll lay here for years or for hours
Thrown here or found
to freeze or to thaw
So long we'd become the flowers
Two corpses
we were two corpses I saw
And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
After the insects
have made their claim
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
I have never known sleep
like this slumber that creeps to me
I have never known colors
like this morning reveals to me
And you haven't moved an inch
such that I would not know
If you sleep always
like this flesh calmly going cold
We'll lay here
for years or for hours
Your hand in my hand
so still and discreet
So long we'd become the flowers
We'd feed well the land
and worry the sheep
And they'd find us in a week
When the cattle'd show fear
After the insects
have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
And they'd find us in a week
When the cattle'd show fear
And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects
have made their claim
After the foxes
have known our taste
After the raven has had his say
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
I'll be home with you
