Thursday Lyrics
Steps Ascending
steps ascend to a loaded gun. the scent of matches hangs in the air (a
lit
one flickers out in a hearbeat). we don't want to see this: a flash of
light
that's letting go of an empty bullet case, by the time it hits the
ground,
he's out of reach. let go. the wolves are closing in. there's no room
left
to make amends. do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high? all
the
time we've wasted, spent fighting, will burn in the fire of our regrets
all
the time we've wasted, spent fighting, it's blood and it's running down
the
stairs. freeze the frame between the gun shot and the hole it makes. a
spinning bullet waits in the middle. there's no way to stop it, it will
surely hit the mark. you can try to understand but I'm giving up. the
synapse fires, it's right in time. I'm giving up. this should always
stay
out of reach I ran down the stairs and into the garden, put both my
hands
into the soil. in the spring, you will bloom, like her heart, through
the
blouse, in the back of the ambulance, as it turned and turned in the
streets
(just one more turn won't you come back to me) as it turned on its red
lights, you were turning into red roses but I'm not giving up.
