Clemency - Laura Gibson

So it goes, my sparrow hawk

The air became a darker shade of ominous

No joke, no gem reflect

You spoke no regret when your body spoke

It spoke of death

Oh, you can’t slow the fading light

Oh, the question on your mind

Question always on your mind

Was on mine

Like a silent rising moon

Other field blooms are barren still

So I pull my wire in

Of grass is green under of a hinge

I need your whole life turns

Oh, you can’t slow the fading light

Oh, the question on your mind

Question always on your mind

Was on mine

You are all I know, my winter end

You my great jay, my snow shadow

Oh, you can’t slow the fading light

Oh, you can’t slow all the time

The question on your mind

Was the question on mine

Slow

It goes, my crow, my rook

Hope can be a hook

Time I love you back
