lyrics

Zones

The streets are empty as night arrives, as night arrives baring
back against the occasional glaze & yaw of a cop car’s lights, the cunning lights
baring back the room & the walls.
We’ve been broken down into zones, down well
into zones & walls, warned to stay inside, inside, waiting to see
what the river’s walls, waiting, might do, or what the river does,
waiting, too. Quiet, slinking in on some deft immemorial toe, is beaten back,
arrives & is beaten back, crushed under a crucible of phone calls,
a crucible everyone speaks the same forlorn language from
& then tires of, cycling back to the giddy throes
the storm’s advance rattles deep & deepfully into trees.
And the seekers outside with their ominous anticipations--
they look like hooded Ancients, like hooded Ancients intuiting signs
& some hallowed meaning in the signs ascribed to the gloom,
squinting upwards into the fine, fine-needled rain flanking
the seekers, their lefts and rights flanked, the rain enfilading
the next corner, the next stubborn, open bar the seekers enfiladed
already, tipping back shots and bearing teeth like walls of a wet White Whale’s cheeky grin up to the gloom.
And still baring back against the occasional glazed-&-glacial lights of a cop car,
the emptiness of zones & walls troubles the windows, the windows staring back at the air, and the air knows itself to be scuttling old claws left too long in the rain, in the rain, scuttling old claws clamoring in the rain for our curiosity and grudges, old, rime-y
claws riding one city’s one long, dull wave between the wall
& mattress for days gone on, for days gone tumbling for days
on end for one city gone
missing.
