The beautiful gallows on Cape Canaveral
11 September 2016
The silence of rivers speaks to the tallest tree
Its roots of millennium touch the hollow of Earth
The lessons of tedium help the mind in rebirth
The passage that quivers leads through slices of me
Foregone are the shivers the new tides set me free
In moon the selenium spins promises of dearth
Enriched the uranium times renewing the firth
In history’s givers printed code of the Three
We gathered the shadows the precious mineral
The crowds lined with haters cobbled stones drew the way
The women like widows advanced our funeral
The beautiful gallows on Cape Canaveral
When yesterday’s craters wrought the guesses today
The blue wept like willows the despair general
Reading of the poem:
I let Love in – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
To be by your Side – Nick Cave
Where the Wild Roses grow – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Kylie Minogue
