Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bedraggled angels blethered
across Eleven Acres
[Verse 2]
as belling from the bwoneyard
rangled round the archet
[Verse 3]
Her fingernails a-ripped
from hauling clay-filled fists
[Verse 4]
out of the river's edges
for pots with happy voices
[Verse 5]
Conzum-ed with twanketen
only eased by scratching
[Verse 6]
whisp-words slim as thistles
or sickly chicken whistles
[Verse 7]
Seem an I a childhood
of quartere'il and wormwood
[Verse 8]
of not-friends running nowhere
of vog a-veiling elsewhere
[Verse 9]
Till in the vaulted barn
queer-lit by dummet zun
[Verse 10]
she knew herself a vessel
fit for a different wordle
[Verse 11]
where footsteps must be lwone
and barefoot upon stones
[Verse 12]
the northwind's ever-host
giving edges to the ghosts
[Verse 13]
Seem an I a childhood
of quartere'il and wormwood
[Verse 14]
of not-friends running nowhere
of vog a-veiling elsewhere
[Verse 15]
of mother's voice not-calling
corrugated iron
[Verse 16]
of devil's birds and whiskey
of chilver hogs and fleecy
[Verse 17]
nuts I could not reapy
[Verse 18]
and nuts I could not reapy
