lyrics
Somebody wrote “tender”
in the novel’s margins
as if to remind about a precious force
In the next paragraph the protagonist
sat down on the belly of a dead horse
The author I read fell
from a window, many stories high,
stretching out to feed pigeons
or a stray cat
(depending on the website)
Whether or not I have
or was given
a little more time
there just doesn’t seem to be
much room for a reply
And it’s possible it only belongs
where it happened, fine.
According to John
fear softens into doubt
To what do I cling and think
is mine?
No reply
“Think the last time I came up this way
I was younger”
said your aunt, isn’t it a good line?
We found the garden abandoned and that night
became dark
over chicken and wine
Documentarians tossing lemmings stunned
over the edge
Wartime juveniles shot and martyred for the
crime of stealing eggs
Dinner by the way
was divine
I drank the last of the coffee
waiting for you to rise
Whether or not I have
or was given
a little more time
there just doesn’t seem to be
much room for your reply
And it’s possible it only belongs
where it happened, fine.
According to John
fear softens into doubt
To what do I cling and think
is mine?
No reply
