lyrics

No one’s ever quite sure what idols are up to
or how the idols are abused for the sake
of history’s myopic revisions. In ceremonial congress,
love of self, love of country, Christian love, carnal love, compassionate love—never having done one or any of them enough, or professing them to the point of nullity where only solitude is left— even wild flowers
could be idols blooming outside the cemetery,
a congress of bees spreading life randomly
but also by design: there is an equally disabused
revision to this world, its methods and instruments are
wise and inhuman.

On Sunday mornings the winter parishioners
are on the march: ladies in furs and knee-high boots; sluggish men trekking behind and whispering in what can only be the solemn language of sport.
In ceremonial congress, they are like winter suns on cold pavement,
revealing the trash up and down the street under severe skies of blue. Suspicion is the daily theme. If they ever do chance a rare look,
their eyes are also severe and blue. Maybe suspicion is my daily theme. Maybe the sun isn’t an audacious up-down, up-down discovery.
And maybe love is bigger and always wins the long race against
its own violence and distortion.
But I still want to hit someone
and then kiss them on the lips,
not to say sorry
but I told you so.
