The Lovely Boys Part I

Where have I gone?

Orion is always there

How closely does he follow?

My father’s fathers always hoped to see his sword piercing through the clouds

I wish to hide

There are too many clear nights now

Could I not ask for thunder? A little rain to hide the reminder? 

I am just the son of arduous treks across the sea

Where is the son’s father, from where did he come?

They always wrote to seek the light

Just to wait, and daybreak would find us 

If I kept my face towards the sun, I would never see the darkness

But I find more and more

That what I have wanted 

And is what every mans wants

Is what did not glow 

Not even a glimmer in the darkness
