lyrics

Goon Seat

Your suspicions quiet down, your body hair quiets down.
But you still can’t explain whether it’s her or you
you’ve come here to embrace, feeling strangely winged
in this big and dark and now nearly empty room,

grateful the disunity she doesn’t bother to tell you about today
is now just a silent act of pulling open your jacket,
placing her ear at your chest and
breathing around vowels,

until the tears’ old and future reasons
drop like opposing hands in the dark
--where tears want you anyway: mule-kicked awake,
really awake,

the surprised face of presence and saga you’re never
quite ready for staring back from a reflective March
sky you’re probing for a courage unnoticed
by any season in a railroad apartment,

flipping lights on and on, borne out like an untouched,
fly-circled bowl of fruit cocktail
left too long in the sun but still colorful enough
to remain in this potboiler’s mise en scene.

Pan back: the pigeons have returned and are lifting from the rooftops,
spiraling up and up against the hazy skyline, dappling
brown to white, a kind of vengeance and testament hurling
out of the flaps of wing.


You’re winged, remember? Stop talking to yourself
and put your face where the one rogue pigeon has gone, breaking
off from the flock, tasting something rarified in all directions, all reviews,
until it comes back. That bird always comes back.
