Don Quixote's Windmill - Kelly Joe Phelps

Jenny keep the closet warm

I’ll need somewhere to hide

Bees are swarming around my head

Digging in my side

They laugh and taunt and prod me

Tear at the walls around me

Here in my eternal shell

I laugh like bloody murderous hell

Jenny keep the coal fire on

I need somewhere to dry

Had to swim the river cross

With a poker in my eye

Flashing still contingency

Waved for me to go

I hit the shore then in a rage

Swing at a shadow in a monkey’s cage

Jenny keep the window down

Until you hear me moan

Light the candle quickly

Then welcome me back home

I’ll make sure not to say to you

Those dark and thundering clouds are through

That I have met escape this time

All is well and we’ll be fine

Jenny keep the covers up

Bathe in winter sleep

I be among the curs of war

Rife with battles deep

The fight will be a furious one

The outcome surely curious

Don Quixote’s Windmill cease to desecrate

My will for peace
