lyrics

The Book and the Spine


The passage of time, renders everything spineless;
See that white chalk
Upon the floor?
The crumbling book spine: “Mysterious Britain”
Denuded, eroded; it lies on the floor.
Pages drifting like leaves from a tree
I gave it to her: she lends it to me.
Bent down double
Crackled and brittle:
The book and the spine
Passage of time.

(ch) I gave it to mother in ‘85
White chalk spine: now it’s mine
Vellum thin, broken skin
I gave it to her…in ’85.

The book contains unseen knowledge:
Bren Tor chalice, Callinish Stones
Can you still feel the ley-lines
Invisible criss-cross
Hidden frailties
Down to the bone?
Is there any hope of reconstruction
Will there ever be…restoration?
I contemplate the loss of our mother
The book, the spine and the passage of time.



Lyrics D.Pope (2011)
