Secrets of the River

such a small ring
she saw it sinking fast
chain link in muddy water
the black anchor of her past

in the caravan of morning
shuffling by her little boat
the corner of a midnight cabaret
in a moon patch cloak

the devil`s quoting scripture
her debt to the dark is clear
trade that swagger for strength boy
what I flee draws near

before we cut and run my John
will you turn from the mirror
take my face in your hands
listen to the secrets of the river

all those angry I`s
in a poison pen letter
cold eyes circle round me now
like pitiless swimmers

before we cut and run my John
will you turn from the mirror
take my face in your hands
listen to the secrets of the river

should the moon ambush the sun my John
save your sunflower
or scatter petals from the banks
listen to the secrets of the river
