lyrics

The whole town lined up 
outside the tent  
what those kids 
thought they saw- 
do you really want to remember this? 
Today, think of all the alien 
shots in the dark, that at one time, 
all at once, coexisted 
  
I mean aside from all the burning 
Hurry by the shanties beside the road 
  
Sunset on a cart 
pulled home by a white horse 
Conscience of the husband 
was righteous and coarse 
There must be a limit—if 
we only circle around 
there’s no hurry in reaching it 
  
Shirt bloodstained and yet it was 
not Abel but Cain 
who got to hear 
the voice that for so long had 
been a stranger 
Not one word of all the time 
They spent growing up brothers 
Even love 
Yes even love, something to lose 
What if the details there 
were suddenly shared? 
Tender moments siblings keep secret 
  
Sunset on a time 
when no words could 
be spared. Unknowing 
mother rocks soft 
in her chair 
There must be a limit 
This has happened 
This will happen 
This is happening 
  
Voice on the radio again 
strange to be shaped by 
such strange men 
It’s the hottest summer again 
Strange to be shaped by 
such strange men—but where 
will you go? where 
  
Where? Where? When 
you asked me that question, 
it sounded like a joke a 
rubber hand extended to shake 
Outside my kitchen the sound 
of fists on the door in 
the early morning light 
A death! So small  
and sentimental  
Daddy giving 
the middle finger to the Kodak lens 
when I saw her face she smiled, 
“I don’t know why I 
saved it all this time.”
