Ash Wednesday |
A gale of psalms from the chapel doors |
Some trembling song stretched heavenward |
And carried on the cold wild wind |
Lingering in March |
Steadied hand on steady glass |
A toast to absent company |
Bartered blood and borrowed brass |
While outside sirens sing |
Left at last call |
Dreamed a dream by the old canal |
He slept through the night |
And they came and they traced him in white |
On Ash Wednesday |
So midnight falls still and black |
As silent as that maker’s hand |
That left you reeling, left you cold |
When your weary world it woke |
The phone dropped to the floor in the kitchen |
The TV was flickering, hissing the news |
Some far flung half truths |
But home’s where the heart is |
And home’s where the hurt is too |
I left at last call |
Dreamed a ghost on the 44 |
In amber light, O the city sleeps peaceful tonight |
On Ash Wednesday |
