lyrics

In McCullin’s Photograph

There’s a moot business to misery.
We pick up the sullen, weak, or deprived body of a child
and we move by some arcane duty to act,
abiding hell on earth as any other inconvenience.

We cannot fear. There’s no effort in fear. Fear comes, yes,
it has to. But we condone it. We have to.

We let grief, under a force of its own profound, unnameable commitment, slip away to our beds where it will pounce at last,
a heavy and hulking presence on our chests we learn to beat down
to a pulpy solace and intellect and then drink deeply of it,
picking up the body of the dying child, the corpse, even

the dead dog, tending to their miraculously fractal effects despite the wars and bombs and distortions of annihilated cities. The business has always been here, in any millennia, in any country, enforcing the skipped meal, adjudicating the dust, heaping one task onto another

so that our forbearing, micro-charged bodies push one century
to the next century, shunting McCullin’s photograph
to another mere image. We are surprising no one.
