lyrics

i.

Syrupy breeze in this country
of heat, nodding
banks of trees, clouds
massing up from nowhere
like my ballooning edge
this afternoon
—forgive me,
but shut up.
I have no plan.
Let the serried
changes of the afternoon
march right over
these fields of light—
I can’t see a single
spot of earth for the weeds.

ii.

Without music
there is no story. Cottonwood leaves
shimmer even in this dead
heat, like the breath under
thought.
Someone is always winning.
To believe is to forget.

iii.

Quiet music an IV drip of
the most potent serum
leafing out the lonely
afternoon. It burnt
itself clean,
this flecked sky,
thunderless in the end, who
would have guessed it,
and I’m dressed
in black, like a fool.

That helicopter—
I hope they have air conditioning.
And what the hell are they up to

up there?
