Beast

Sun picks out pale warblers on willow
And painted ladies pausing on perches
Before pairing clumsily and padding on the breeze
Wrapped in Earth's diurnal course with rocks, and stones, and trees
Ravaged as we are some day by some sort of disease
To the one new young friend we have, to the one new young friend we have:
Almost inaudible sounds, almost inaudible sounds come through like sirens to your ears
You have to watch yourself, you have to watch yourself if you want to be taken seriously
You are always showing your age

To one of the many people I regret not showing more attention to:
I am not the trained health specialist, the trained health specialist with the beautiful dark skin
I'm simply the friend you once had, Simon, come to see the state that you're in
If you can't be forgiving, if you can't be forgiving then you can't be my friend
We drink 'til we're drunk, we drink 'til we're drunk and we walk 'til we bend
My love is something, wy love is something that comes with no question
But you insist on, but you insist on it's dissection
My love is a stone that has known no attrition
Have been left with nothing but blanks of uncertainty
How could you have seen future in the futility of love?
How could you have seen something that was not?
When we would become the beast with two consciences
