lyrics

For Jen Terry


"…But is the
earth as full as life was full, of them?"
--- Frank O’Hara

Her laughter was always lush, a brogue-like tumble that comes suddenly bright to my ears, laughing away the brooding pomp of fountains and cobblestone. She’s just emerged, a lover falling in with me on a small side street, expansively silent, aroused by the sweaty glean of a hot, beguiling night.

Spires disembody and hover in the hazy skies,
and lights are more like eyelets
once Rome grows as full as life was full, of her; a Rome
raddled with the living
and the dead.

But who’s sounding who through the places we keep, watching the other
as I might watch myself in a dream, shook clean of border and barrier, lost
or found?
I don’t care to understand.

I’d rather wonder if she knows what she’ll be the ghosting tenor of next.
Emptying darkness like a morning sun that tracks a sleeper’s eyes; the tweaked glow of an ember bossing a low night sky--- by light, by now always next to light?
