lyrics

In this mutiny of light, these
images, like lamps, like dreams

they hover, trembling with
arcane hands, distracted –
flit above our heads.

They’re like lakes in the sky upside-down.
It isn’t raining though, and youth is

a satisfied wound showing bone,
the last light out of the airshaft,
a memory’s despair in growing old –

and crawling through unseen currents,
night’s rippling invention’s upstaged:
the last line erased until dawn.
