Domestic Violets - Major Parkinson

We laughed and we cried

We had some drinks

Like pigs in denial

Like morbid chimps

Tell me what you think

What to make of this

Can we fill in the gaps

Make a pretty house and live happily

Cover up our tracks

Build up a terrace above the oblivion

And cut down the trees and let the sun in

Into the night

Now lonley days like cans of maze

And rags that are soaked in ether

Didn’t seem so bad when he was there

The sky was filled with daffodils

The nights dazzled in domestic violets

Grew behind her smile

To keep in denial
