lyrics

Even Its Lies: Centre Street, Red Hook

Jimmy working a rake
on the narrow, weedy strip,
piles dry leaves,
strays of chicken bone & candy wrapper
flush against rolling iron gate,
bags them all up,
& shortly tucks into his fun

boot-crushing used needles
he kicks the bits of
into a side street’s tiny
state of grace
his vigilance
and his holstered .38
forget;

surveying a sky and a road leading up to the sun
backlighting the appearance of a morning’s
drifty though usual cast of players--
some baggy-drawer’d kids off to school,
a passing, working ass or two--- his head
nearly lost
within reveries of earthly, remote bodies
realized
of a morning,
of a mood,
when his heart (even its lies)
still beats to god-fearing rarity &
elegance.

Without a word,
night is over.
Because he says so.
