Love sickened and infirmed

             Em
The orderly found him there

Filleted on the marble stairs

Hat still in hand

     Am
His smoking remains

Blown out by a kiss from nurse someday soon

Someday soon, someday soon, someday soon

The rosary, her lips and tongue

She is the centrifuge that throws

The spires from the sun

Polar nettles set on end

                         Em
Move like starlings up a cliff

                      C
Antennae of her foggy touch

                                 Am
The force field round her frosty hips

                               Em
Whose shape recalls the wicked spade

                           Am
That buried him but on his lips

      Em           B7
The last rites of nurse

        Em
Someday soon
