The Plough

I saw the plough in the night sky. I saw the moon rise. I saw the size of the firmament in my life. The great bear rose with the harp song. The old king called the hounds. Perseus tore the fox apart with his hands. Don't say that the tide rolls in from the sea And that it happens just so easily. Don't say it begun pulled in by the sun And that it's just gravity. The herdsman whistled his stallion. The clock struck 03:00 am. Red wine trickled from the crack in the jug. I saw the plough in the night sky. I saw the sun rise. I saw the size of the firmament in my life. Don't say that the tide rolls in from the sea And that it happens just so easily. Don't say it begun just pulled by the sun And that it's just gravity. I could be swimming in rivers of blood, Washed away by the tide. I look the same man to you. Washed away, washed away. Washed away.
