song title/ lyrics

"Wolf Gathering in a Bird's Nest"

Hands up high so all can see
The children of the cabbage tree
They come to fill the stockings full of dew

The bashful lily, the absent host
Oh, these the things we yearn for most
Arrange the roots to draw a Chinese screw

The stalks so brave, the wheat forlorn
Strange rabbits hunched in uniforms
Patched with cooper portraits of the Priest

Pedals stacked like cinder blocks
Jelly foams from Genius Boxes
Rise from story orchids and be free

Phantom limbs that steer the kites
Past pigeons, lemons and Northern Lights
Up to where all sleep is clipped in time

We shall reside with eyes shut wide
To talk about past suicides
Huddling over steaming mushroom wine

So please reveal the evil plot
And tie the shy ones in a knot
And stumble though the clouds upon request

The shadows form in puzzled shapes
With windows closing from escape:
A wolf gathering, at once, in a bird's nest!
