I lived with you age seven to seventeen
So don’t chase trouble without me
You’re not going anywhere
It would be sad, I would be mad
It is a game of hide and seek
When you are everywhere alive
Get used to the slap-trumpets
I am expecting a blood-knell
Sniggering silly in the snail mail
I am expecting you to run and talk
Like Golda Meir out of a bloody ruck
That is who you are.
