Green

next night i rowed upon the waves

to catch a leaping fish

but on the hook my lover’s heart

i pulled from briny depths

as i lay her cold corpse down

in the bottom of my boat

it was a jumping fish

caught in my nets and rope

third night i spied a wild boar

charging madly through the trees

but i raised not my gun to her

just let her come to me

just let her run to me

and as i fell in mossy ferns

as her teeth grabbed hold of me

it was the lips of my true love

that kissed me dark and green

kissed me dark and green
