Deja Vu

 

‘What have you done to your head again?’

 

‘The sea flowed out and the wind blew in

To the purple mist at the Do-drop Inn

As I went to say what I said I’d seen….’

‘Surely you said,

             you said…’

 

‘If all your thought, like a Comet’s burst

Was a witches damn, or a tinker’s curse

While a sailor’s caul made the ship reverse

Whenever he turned his head…’

            ‘you said…’

 

‘Shallow and sorry, the same response

Of the one who never to one belongs

And never to more than one the once,

Guarding the maidenhead…’

            ‘you said…’

 

‘It’s hard, so hard to arrange the mind

In the tints and colours of humankind

When the reds are Red, and the blind are blind

To everything surely said…’

            ‘you said…’

 

‘I went to say what I said I’d seen

In the purple mist at the Do-drop Inn

As the sea flowed out and the wind blew in…’

 

‘What have you done to your head again?’
