Age of Stone (part IV)

Does everybody come here
To your drying room
Where magpies bloom
A song outside your window?

Does everybody come here
To leave their shoulder mark
Where the cushions part
On a sofa soft with story?

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
Just kiss me into the age of stone
And lie with me here
While all the other ages pass

Does everybody come here
To your kitchen sink
And the wraiths of steam
And the cutlery rattling "pick me"?

Does everybody come here
Their arms so weighed
With the end of days
To lift them to your shoulders?

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
Just kiss me into the age of stone
And lie with me here
While all the other ages pass

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
And please don't tell me

That everybody comes here
To press their brow to yours
By the loosened door
And the hallway drenched in autumn

That everybody comes here
With a memory of
All they had ever loved
And leaves had never fallen

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
Just kiss me into the age of stone
And lie with me here
While all the other ages pass
