lyrics

i. Where are they now?

Where are they now, the ones we never knew, the rats in the walls, the dead drunks in the pubs?

Gone for good, vanished like ghosts with aching bladders just before the dawn, and never a word, and never a promise.

Gone, gone back, because here be monsters, excommunicated, incommunicado, but powerful still.

Where are they now, the ones we used to dream of, in foreign languages, on foreign shores, pointing the ways to Ithacas and crookedly smiling?

Swallowed, digested, turned inside out to crushed olive pits, gone with the ravens, gone with the bears, out the windows, down the roads, away from the bright and semi-bright apartments, into the night, into the sewers, out the other side.

And left here, alone at last, we look back and we look forward and what do we see?

Props are props and rivers are rivers, we have to change our lives, we have to change our patterns, but there’s always time to think it over one more time, until next time and the next and the next, until there’s no more time left, but, wait a minute, time does not exist, there is no time, there is no time, and so, finally, that too is taken care of.


ii. Equinox

Slow water
cushioning our footsteps -
phantom pain.

Empty boats,
windy shores,
turn around

to the cries
of the seabirds -
Freudian slip.

Friendly skies,
soft grey sighs,
stay awhile.
