lyrics

Saturday Evening, One Eastertide

She had raven hair. She had speedwell eyes.
She pierced my heart. Maybe she could analyse
what just happened to me.

She had speedwell eyes. She had raven hair.
Her smile lit her face like a kerosene flare
on a smoking summer eve.

Three days one summer. Three days of time
in eccentric orbit and walking and rhyme.
She told me how it seemed to bide in the dark
on Saturday evening of Eastertide

How the world holds its breath at the shock of God’s death
and how we all are redeemed.
Surprisingly forgiven, for, truly
Christ is risen.

She had corvin hair and forget-me-not eyes
and nonchalantly waved her hand and swept away the flies
from my mind and her plate of fruit.
