Murmurings that tell
From here to the spade mill
Of tragedies; the Earls
Petrol stations
The flintlocks. Believe
You’re in danger with every stroke
You’re in danger and I’m complicit
Limestone gleams tonight
I got this one last flare
I see you shoot it off — Remember? Remember?
Leopold forgot that place
The magazine clippings all over the place
We checked in two wetsuits and got on a flight
We were standing in the tide line the following night
I lost your grip in that tidal zone
And now I’m standing on the headland alone
You’re in danger with every stroke
You’re in danger and I’m complicit
Limestone gleams tonight
I got this one last flare
I see you shoot it off
But there’s no one there
Placed where we got the fireworks from
New Year’s Eve in 2001
Kid fathoms as the sulphur ignites
Potassium can save a soul
But not tonight
Not tonight
