Who´s your favorite poet of the last decade? Post an excerpt of your favorite song of theirs.

Mine is Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown/Wolf Parade/Swan Lake.
This is from the Swan Lake song All Fires

There was a flood
A world of water
The mason�s wife
Swam for her daughter.

One thousand people
Did what they could.
They found the steeple
And tore out the wood.

Five hundred pieces
Means five hundred float.
One thousand people means
Five hundred don�t.
And it�s Teresa they love the best.

His imagery and story telling is amazing, almost ranks up there with Cohen and Curtis.
