I needn’t be told the flower’s
Ceased to be pure
I needn’t be told there’s aroma
Of fear some people adore
Dip your finger in blood and mark the
Posts of the door
I needn’t be told
I needn’t be told ‘bout the lake
Swallowed the sky
I needn’t be told ‘bout the blue canopy
Of his eye
There’s an island of silent natives not
On any map you can find
I needn’t be told
About the sidewinder
About the celestial vibration finder
Or the impeccable memory of the reminder
There‘s a figure like morning dew
Passes away
And there is smoke in the chimney when
The tenant’s away
The pendulum on the other side's
Swinging this way
I needn’t be told
I needn’t be told ‘bout the light that can’t
Get out of the core
I needn’t be told ‘bout the thorn that sliced
The interior
And behind the one there’s always
Another one more
I needn’t be told
About the gainsayer
About the obedient prayer
About the motions of the lonesome rhythm swayer…
