[00:12.84] | What we built, at the kiln that won’t be stilled |
[00:20.65] | Did not set well: |
[00:23.50] | The old veil of desire |
[00:26.87] | Like the vessels that we fired |
[00:31.90] | Fell thin as eggshells |
[00:33.79] | And every season, somebody burns |
[00:37.29] | Downtown, taking turns– |
[00:39.97] | Taking a bus, to take a train and just plain vamoose |
[00:44.63] | Now the wind blows coals over the hills. Honey |
[00:47.84] | I’ve been paying my bills |
[00:50.85] | But honey it’s been a long time since I’ve come to any use |
[00:55.96] | And it hurt me bad, when I heard the news |
[00:58.63] | That you’d got that call, and could not refuse |
[01:01.86] | (A goose, alone, I suppose, can know the loneliness of geese |
[01:05.37] | Who never find their peace, whether North, or South, or West, or East, West or East; |
[01:07.61] | And I could never find my way |
[01:19.48] | To being the kind of friend you seemed to need in me |
[01:26.54] | Till the needing had ceased.) |
[01:31.65] | Recently, a bottle of rye, and a friend, and me |
[01:39.44] | On our five loose legs |
[01:42.52] | Had a ramble, and spoke |
[01:46.26] | Of the scrambling of broken hopes, and goose eggs |
[01:53.10] | And of a stranger, long ago |
[01:56.32] | (Not you, honey! You, I know.) |
[01:58.53] | We just spoke of broken hopes and old strangers |
[02:03.15] | Now the wind blows coals over the sea. Tell you what, honey: |
[02:10.59] | You and me better run and see if we can’t contain them, first |
[02:14.15] | But you had somewhere that you had to go |
[02:16.89] | And you caught that flight out of Covelo |
[02:20.48] | Now, overhead, you’re gunning in those Vs |
[02:25.27] | Where you had better find your peace |
[02:28.16] | Whether North, or South, or West, or East |
[02:33.54] | West or East |
[02:37.10] | And I had better find my way |
[02:39.42] | To being the kind of friend you seemed to need in me |
[02:44.50] | At last (at least) |
[02:47.60] | What’s redacted will repeat |
[02:50.50] | And you cannot learn that you burn when you touch the heat |
[02:55.60] | So we touch the heat |
[03:01.20] | And we cut facsimiles of love and death |
[03:03.84] | (just separate holes in sheets |
[03:06.85] | Where you cannot breathe, and you cannot see) |
[03:09.96] | And I cannot now, for the life of me, believe our talk – |
[03:14.72] | Our flock had cause to leave |
[03:18.20] | But do we? |
[03:21.91] | Do we? |
