The Perisa Blues #2
1996-02-10
[orig - 02-91, 01-94 !]
[poem reference 12-12-84]

the soup was good
the wine was sweet
the fire, it was hot!

born again on a carpet of black sand
strong feelings of having been taken in

she said you should be smiling
i said there's too much going on
i'll have to smile later.
by starlight in the middle of the night
laying amongst friends, we did it again
we jumped in the river
went down deep
to that dark place where glory and beauty meet

grace
tenderness
catch the wave just before it crests
on black sand we did it again
in the naked ocean we rinsed my salt from our skin.
we jumped in the ocean
went down deep
ancient towns slide into the sea

grace, tenderness
something about her hands
strong feelings of having been taken in
everybody wants her
everybody hates me
double fire
it was hot
so we jumped in the river
went down deep
to that dark place where glory and beauty meet

born again on a carpet of black sand
strong feelings of having been taken in...
