The Cure released Wish 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition album on November 25, 2022. It includes 24 previously unreleased tracks. And all of Curedom did a little happy dance. Robert Smith admitted that he had difficulty with the words (poetry), resulting in many of the new tracks being instrumentals. This struck me as unfortunate for someone I believe to be one of the best living poets, of the one I have read. The words of “Lovesong,” from Disintegration are beautiful in their simplicity and immensely compelling. “Plainsong,” from the same album, is a sonnet by Robert Smith to his wife, Mary. Here are my thoughts on “Plainsong.” https://disintegrationnation-cureblog.blogspot.com/2022/01/poetry-by-robert-smith-of-cure-band.html
Wish 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition has several instrumentals and one is “T7.” We will have to wait for Robert Smith to tell whether it means Track 7, which I assume it does. Below is a poem (unauthorized) I wrote to accompany the music of “T7” by The Cure.
T7
Climb on top. Make me feel important again, wanted again, relished again, fit again. Climb on top. Make me feel loved again, attractive again, physical again, loved again. Like nights of old. And then I will leave through the crimson door.
