BRICKS
Tally the starving, tally their egos
For the umbilical of beggary is tied to them now
The bricks have moved, been carried away
Abandon your bibles, burn all your bibles
Shake the delirium of chickens on coffins
The bricks have moved the bricks have moved
Cardboard the city, corrugate your country
Sit on your rooftops while hayfields float by
The bricks have moved, been carried away
Drink to your mother, drink to the hungry
Drink to your children and all that is sunken
The bricks have moved the bricks have moved
Bring me your iron, bring me your mountains
Bring me your wisdom and all not of bone
The bricks have moved, been carried away
Dance with the fleshless, dance with the sluggards
Dance in the moonlight beneath broken glass
The bricks have moved the bricks have moved
Who has no money, Who has no family
Who has no children or none within sight
The family has moved, been carried away
I started off green, but now brood black and blue
Blunted and cheated and left here to rot
The bricks have moved the bricks have moved
Now there’s no blood, now there’s no bone
Now only skin only fragments of skin
The bricks have moved, been carried away
At night there was laughter, and maudlin dissent
At night there were windows far too many windows
The bricks have moved the bricks have moved
Yes, we were poets, not blacksmiths but poets
Yes there was wonder wrung out of our landscape
The bricks have moved the bricks have moved
But now I’m seditious, and now, I surrender
To the god of consumption conducting me home
My bricks have moved, been carried away
