lyrics

I don’t turn on a light till noon.
A storm’s come in from the south,
blowing the oregano down.
It’s dark inside and outside,
but it feels as warm and ironically pleasing
as her face in the morning
after sleeplessness and all the acceptance
of worry: it takes the esurience of eyelashes
to quell and break up tears, but it takes a mother’s love
to remain quiet.
My cigarettes get drenched in a few seconds if I
leave them on the sill. I dry them in the microwave.
The wind blows hard and directly against the window
like laughter looking in.
I eat blackberries. I eat yogurt and meats, greens
and grains, and drink much, much wine among friends
dead or imagined, in tribute to a bountiful luxury
of souls to throw my arms around and then ignore.
Still the wind blows hard,
predominating from one direction but blowing
eventualities in all other directions too difficult to trace.
Willard to Kurtz: I see
no
method,
sir….
I keep calling out to myself, returning to the rumble
of blood in my ears, the signaling voice Lorca
called the shipwrecked blood the sleepless hordes came
staggering through. That was 90 years ago. Today,
one of a crew of tree-cutters looks up at a BLM sign
in a window. Laughing, he says, “Got another camera on us, yo.”
And Angie, departed many weeks back-- I keep seeing the flowers we
tossed not landing on the passing hearse but blowing away
ecstatically, like the skies over Mumbai were ecstatic, like the waters
of Venice were clear.
