The Things I Know The hottest coal in a raging fire Birdsong from a sleepy byre Monsoon rains from foreign shores Secret keys to secret doors These I’ll find and these I’ll bind Wrap them up and make them new These are things I’ll give to you May dew on poppy leaves Salty tears a widow grieves Woodash from a burning house Silence, silent as a mouse These I’ll gather, these I’ll get Wrap them up and make them new These are things I’ll give to you Apples from an autumn tree Laughter laughed in childhood glee Lovers’ sighs and sweet goodbyes, Jealousy and compromise These I’ll foster, these I’ll find Wrap them up and make them new These are things I’ll give to you Mayflies on a summer lake The freshest bread your mother bakes Stormy skies, lightning bolts Thund’ring hooves of night-black colts These I’ll buy, these I’ll bring Wrap them up and make them new These are things I’ll give to you For I am enchanted as the tides Mesm’rised by a moonbeam bride I cannot rest, I cannot sleep Drowning in this great dark deep I hold a hand, you are not there I scream at night, you do not care. Madness and a hungry ghost Shipwrecks on a rocky coast Desolation, fear and pain Every day that feels the same These you magiced, these you’ve made Wrapped them up and tied the bow These are things you made me know You left me rotting in this hell My fate engulfed me and befell A feeling that has strength to kill I hate you though I love you still Take this now, it’s all I have And kiss me as you breathe your last I’ve wrapped it up, I’ve made it new This knife is all I have for you. ©MGW |
