lyrics

start in
at six pm
heavily to
and slowly back
again one
present world
reeling
to another
less riveted one

below

Newer, foreign ears might fall prey
and lead a body to wander
but
he says he’s growing used to them
unlike
yesterday

They were ringing
in perfect harmony
with the song he was listening to
keeping sleep
at bay vespers

calling
out

as they have for hundreds

of years
(coincidental now) secluded
in the room

It took a long, hard while
for the tolling
to really register

Instead
he remained calm, calmly listening
to the thrust of them

One gong
carrying away
another
bearing forth
until the repetitions were neither
forward
or back but
one
whole
sound
like scent
comes
whole

He says he could feel it when he looked at her
He could know
how often she’s ever cried
