VIEW FROM OUR BEDROOM WINDOW |
You are sleeping in the room alone now |
You are restless in the night |
When the lightning from the storm strikes, you shine |
For a second in the light |
I wait |
For a moment when the weather breaks |
I can feel you in the mattress shake |
I can see the way an old pain holds you |
Morning falling in the frame |
You stay down |
I faced my failure in no way I escaped it |
In the calm before a breakdown takes |
Like a rapture in the night |
You fight hard |
I faced my own pain in no way I embraced it |
In the bedroom with the door locked tight |
Like a coward when the flash burns bright I’ll hide |
Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame |
Lighting the path away |
Brighter than lightning and burning |
Striking the ground |
We spend summers awake |
We shake at shadow shapes |
The wind it rattles our chains |
We’re always turning around |
You were standing in the doorway |
You were staring in the flames |
How the fire from the house next door mixed |
With the colors from the cop cars |
I saw |
Neighbors gathered in the alleyway |
In the summer in the heat |
I wait for a way that I can chase your pain out |
Gather water for the flames |
I wait |
Nights we both shook |
Any noise echoed in our room |
Rattled on the floor like shells scattering |
Or like hail falling on the hood of our car |
Do you remember that drive south? |
Coastbound just us two |
Savannah west in the mirror |
And winter in rearview burning |
How the storm fell so harshly we felt swallowed |
And traffic stopped before and behind us |
Hard rain in sheets grey and unbroken |
Hazards flashed dimly in all directions |
Like small satellites or like lighthouse beacons |
We turned the radio off |
I gripped the wheel tight |
When the storm burst and clouds split suddenly open to the sky |
All colors at once and us dumbstruck with love and terror both |
As if before us stood temples ancient and terrifying |
The light refracting truth to see death and life in all things |
Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame |
I was the last to change |
Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down |
Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame |
I was the last to change |
Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down |
The wind rattles our chains |
We shake our fists at the pain |
We shake at shadow shapes |
We cup our hands in the storm |
And watch our houses burning |
We catch the rain to fight it |
