Hush now little baby cause the neighbours might be glistening
Hush now little baby let me half believe your suffering


Stop your raving, they got you lying in your brain
They laid you down in your domain


And the warm wet crystal warms
When you get the glass, broken class
The bulb warns when broken
Flecked in white


The streeties called my name, shared a half bottle of
Listening
Let me half believe your suffering, under the shared flame
Of embroided skies,
Muku face to face with European knots


Hush now little baby,
I’ll rub your belly
Til the cramp release
Run now little baby
Hope they can’t detect your DNA


I’m pleading innocent today
Some sort of reptilian delay
In the corner of the stampede, here at Fu bar,
In Galatos ..
Sliding by the foreign clique
Huddled in Escape


Today,
The drone seems clear
I’m here on mute


Snuffed out by the shut-eye
Too good for a smile
I keep my eyes on the sparrows
As the pleasant evening falls
I tie chimes to my marrow


This is what the pleasant evening calls
Frame broken in a martini shaker
Bonds tied in the double edge
Of scotch and dry


I feel like raving, as subtle as a heart attack
But they hushed my baby,
Neighbours kept on listening


They shut her venues down
The Temple on Queen street
Cuba on Parnell ,
Turning cigar bars into piano bars
Lost gems




A modern lack of patience
White noise embracing passion
A pressure


Of being taken seriously ,
Frames taken seriously
I found the spitting image
Of a drunken drop
Of hidden fire
Lost gems
One night
At supper club


While the red sun finally woke up
To welcome us
Into the morning


To drain the last drops
Of clutching vigour


The only source of amusement
When all fleur and flora is burnt
Is the red socked manager lady by the bar
Standing up to every slap and one-liner
Coming her way
Like a worn yet taut veteran
Chest secretly boasting from the
Attention
And the gay guy buying me drinks
Even though I told him
Politely
To fuck off


Stubborn in the toxic morning
Like deer to headlights


Hush now little baby
Cause the neighbours might be glistening
Hush now little baby
Cause the world might be listening


And no one heard


Your flight


So speak up little baby
So shout out gentle lady


Cause the world
Just might be listening
