Stars Spell Your Name

Jandek


On every turn of the game
Through the best of life 
Through the worst of life 
And all the colors, the sparkling crystals 
Through miles of ice 
And disgusting ghastly cities 
From green meadows filled with granite 
On whitecaps crashing to the sand 
Through thunder and lightning 
Through the pouring rain 
And the sentencing (?) night 
When all the stars spell your name 
While in the brown and green forest 
While in the blue and green room 
When the exciting dream leaves me breathless 
When the philosopher resounds eerily 
Through the curtains and floral patterns 
Through the blaze of spring time trees 
In the labyrinth and scramble 
In the smooth and flowing dust 
When I find myself in another place, alone 
Where the dance is something I can't do 
Through all these things it comes again 
Some quiet thrill that 
I love you
