Animals That Swim

I Was the King, I Really Was the King (1998) afonsorob 6 Animals That Swim East St Oneill
Intro:      

                    
      Someone got shot dead  round here.
                                                
      People left flowers by the Ribena stains on the pavement.
                                 
Friends, neighbours, strangers.

                                              
A million blooms, one day dusty, the next wet and ragged.
                                       
So, guess what? I took them all home with me
                                                                    
in a wheelbarrow and filled the bathroom from floor to ceiling, and listen, 
                 
       there was no devine damnation
                   
       no cosmic retribution.
                                                                      
Once the petals wilted, I pressed them all flat in the largest book I ve got.
                                                            
On wet days, the ghost sits in the kitchen leafing through it.

                        
He s not grey or wraith-like,
                     
    but bright and solid,
        
like a new bike.

                                              
Looks at the faded colours and plays the radio too loud,
                                              
and makes a damn mess of  butts and tea leaves.
