lyrics

Up

The sky is vaulted over the valley, and the ridgeline lays the road
like a discarded ribbon coaxed suddenly straight through tunnels
whose mouths wind us out again, resuming sway over dusk-reclined
views. No one cares to speak.

It begins up ahead. (It is beginning up ahead.) Smoke, but not: end points fanning, reeled in, fanning again. Once a rhomboid, once a bat ray, once articulate then not.
Ever in and out and toward its churned center, slowly alone in its broad meridian.

Smoked glass the sky can’t penetrate, or pivot around in like a sky should,
it sows among a child’s cryptic secrets, chiding vector and field as it breaches,
tapers downward, cobra-like in its first offering at form.

I remember how memory will serve it, like how guilt or loss or shame will frequent
the scenes of their arrival, taking care to instill their burden of proof,
leaving nothing but words listing across time.

Try to explain something eventual.
We were given birds and gave in turn bomber planes.
