3. (III) Lyrics by Rowan Quartremaine

0

(III)
There is not enough time in our precious day
to end these notes buried deep in grief.
Nor can I justly leave you, my listeners,
simmering in the wake of my feelings,
when there is wild ground to cover! Emma waits
while I muse on this mowed plot, I must go
and only return once I am fully sheathed
in inked pages and Emma’s love, afraid no longer
of any men that stand in my way. In fact, only yesterday,
sitting on an elm-shrouded and classless brook
in the vicinity of such base-men and maidens,
I heard two brutes speak of my very Emma!
“I hear her father keeps her locked away
with priceless perfumes and polishes
to prepare her before her proper time!”
“O, I have heard such different talk,
I have been told she’s cold as hellfire
is hot, rejects men worthier than us
as if the tossing of cruel words
is nothing more than the filling of one’s lungs,
a moth lifting its breathless wings,”
While it hurt me to think of such words,
and the imagined realm of what was said
behind my most perceptive ears, I rise
through the poison of doubt. If her words
weigh as much as these men say, it’s nothing
more than an opportunity to spar,
verbal play to bring us closer, the warm gift
of language: to tug, to pull, to dream, to administer
breath, continuity between the souls.
