letra de à tout jamais (pour eva) - rich krueger

is this for eva
this world that is all that it is?
whatever it is, or was, never bothered with me
and our mad conjurer wittgenstein strolls out onto the sea
with a small map of europe tucked under his arm
which he unfolds to be
vast new and unwanted territory
if you really can’t say, try saying nothing
for eva
again i have chosen to say nothing
for eva

and for eva
i’ll hide on my side of all our unknowns
i’m adrift, i’m subdititious, i have lost my home
so i’ll winter in the branches of an old dead tree
and from the branches spread my fingers
and grasp the breeze
and all those moments between us
which could never be requited
for eva
sometimes some things cannot be
for eva

and eva
when you unsubmerge you’ll no doubt be found
‘neath that hat where the black-hearted poppy
periscopes over the crown
to spy the horizon, hope’s vanishing point
to a green flanders’ field
i sit nearby where the world came to die
but the poppies here are real
and i break bread with the crosses and stones
which stand row upon row upon row upon row
as no doubt they know
that every one that once was, was once the case
and every one that once was, once was the case
for everyone the world lost here the world made its case
in a novena for those the world never knew
and all the others that the world’s forgotten
forever and ever
the ninth day’s prayers are held safe
for eva
