lyrics

We let go of the moon
and stayed good and low to ourselves.
The walk had been long and we were tired,
saying very little up the stairs,
hands at each other’s backs.
Inside, we kept the main light off, took off our jackets
and hats. I gave her my key and, smiling,
we felt the night's cold diminish under our kiss.
Hold this, I thought,
before it's whittled away.
There was packing to be done, and soon the U-bahn
to the airport, the parting gazes, and the months
of waiting.
She walked into the kitchen asking about the last bottle of Flensburger
or a cup of the cheap mint tea I too had come to love,
and her eye set on the window where dawn kept breaking
and breaking open, a Blues for us.
I knew she was stopping all movement now,
knew she held the refrigerator door ajar and her stare
was narrowing around a small, mutated thing outside,
some twig or bird
trying at her,
as all things sentient and undisguised in the heart
try.
