London Clay (Edit)

Bury me at Sheppey And I'll be laid in clay Ploughing up the poison 'til it's clean London's heaven-hingers Adam's-index-fingers-raised Babelled on a reedbed Buried deep in London Clay Bury me at Orton Scar Lay the limestone straight Valleyed all in miniature No mistakes made In a perfect recreation of that old Leone scene I'll be riding through the desert On a limestone limousine Bury me at Orkney Old Red Sandstone Orcadie Give me wings of willow for to fly To Fair Isle Maroon my casket On the belly of a wave And with my willow basket Where the sea and the sandstone play I'll gather mermaid's purses Around my cradle-grave
