Sugar down the syrup in the Queen Anne's lace
Shining in the light of nightshade
Cultivating unsophistication on my face
Trying to think of nothing to say
Grapes gone sour and the spinach went to seed
Spindly and sick from the outset
Waiting for the hour with a wherewithal
Patient as a dog for its master
Aubergine
Labrador was locked through the promontory rock
She called down, said time is an illusion
And in consequential shift as the continents drift
But my confidence is crushed and I miss you regardless
Aubergine
Aubergine
Soil in the gravel and the saffron road
Sleeping like a shark in the foregrass
Now I saw how far I travelled down the solipsistic road
I climbed out to ask for directions
There was not a pond in sight, near I'm gasping like a fish
In the desert with a basket full of eggplant
Asked about the passage of the bible on my wrists
But I couldn't catch my breath enough to answer
Shining in the light of nightshade
