The guts of it all
It's just in listening:
This makes good and bad go
away
Judgment ceases and
eternity opens
like at the gates of the cemetery,
and golden lights showcasing
a dead one
Flower’s sacrifice is wilting
to a name that is forgotten
by me, right after I read it
I don’t remember, I just listen
It passes right through me
Songs
Poetry
Heard this one a thousand times
by some guy at the open mic
It's for the first time
Bird comes down, pecks at the
seeds scattered under the
tombstone
It’s here only once and forever.
He's playing “Don’t think twice it’s alright”
And I hear the guts of it all
Ain’t no use in calling out my name, gal
Cause I can’t hear you anymore…
