Dream Song 112: My framework is broken I am coming to an end
My framework is broken, I am coming to an end,
God send it soon.
When I had most to say
my tongue clung to the roof
I mean of my mouth.
It is my Lady's birthday
which must be honoured, and has been.
God send
it soon.
I now must speak to my disciples, west
and east.
I say to you, Do not delay
I say, expectation is vain.
I say again, It is my Lady's birthday
which must be honoured.
Bring her to the test
at once.
I say again, It is my Lady's birthday
which must be honoured, for her high black hair
but not for that alone:
for every word she utters everywhere
shows her good soul, as true as a healed bone,—
being part of what I meant to say.
