Why does the Swallow King hound me
from hovel door to door?
Could he not be content
that no one weeps the fire out in this vacant hall?
It's the small things
that keep me going;
the kindness strangers are showing,
the rocky road to Heaven
paved with silent love
for the beggar king.
He will command the seas
to salt the balm as I slip over the side
to settle on the bone jewelled ocean floor
so I will not return with the tide.
It's the giving without taking,
the gift of rice on waking,
the rocky road to Heaven
lit by phantom candles
for the beggar King.
