Mama Fado
Before now was
a song:
You go to the graveyard to talk to yourself
by black night remembering stars
More have sailed away
than can ever return
you have loved them all
and your love still burns
More still remain children
while trees around them grow
lilliputians of emotions
yet you love all you know
That love caught up with a miller
as he set out to sea
his sails kept on turning
returning him to thee
Bring him to the old town: more talk, song, more
more of a sheen to the apple
O, before an end
like this
