Diffuse Rainbow
There is a diffuse rainbow in my mind
I wish that I could read it line by line
Ineluctable images go flying by
Consoling dreams splattered across
the sky: I will not die today,
I'd rather watch migrating birds
Fly high, higher, in the night sky
Such natural images shepherd me
Into sleep where dreams can multiply
I listen to my sigh as diffuse rainbow
Words come to comfort me, I recall
My old-time friend who fled his mortal
Coil: fuck everything and run, huh
Chris? I don't think so. Your words
Belie you, it wasn't fear, more like
An incorrigible desire to return
To a time before the dreadful daylight starts
Of unkept promises and broken hearts.
