Analysis of Wife
100503 21 prayers fruit and fall off my
Sinful lips
21 tears tear,tore open my coffin
O lo!Hark!Behold!
What I see a marvellous dream
A girl beateous,bold,unforeseenbefore
jumped out of her mother`s birth-spring!
And O now she`s 21;she is
Especially in the October Wind
Sun shines on my vineyards
Moon shines on my ships
My shadows to shadows weep to see arti unfurl
her tulips of 21-spring
Uninvited,unfed I lay like a dog w/ no meals
She dances away the Moon,the magics
My packs of Parliament wail and weep
Shouldering on the shaky shoulders of Jack
Daniels,Chivas and Whiskey
I walk,I walk aimless,lonely
O sweetest wife, arti, please let me in,in,in,in
