about

Abolitionist anthem inspired by queer ASBO-kid of the Paris Commune, Arthur Rimbaud.

lyrics

I know the skies bursting with lightning
The surf, the currents, I know the evening
At times I have seen what man thought he saw / thought he saw

The slow rhythms are streaking daylight
And stronger than gin, vaster than music
The bitter red of love ferments / ferments our love ferments

And if I want a water of Europe, it is the black
Cold puddle where in the twilight
A squatting child full of sadness
Releases a boat as fragile as a May butterfly
No longer can I follow
In the wake of the cotton boats
Nor cross through the pride of flags and flames
Nor swim under the terrible eyes of prison ships

I know the skies bursting with lightning
The surf, the currents, I know the evening
At times I have seen what man thought she saw
At times I have seen what man thought she saw

At times I have seen what man thought she saw
