Tired Hands

bass drum skin won’t start to swing
guitar string won’t start to sing
snare drum skin won’t start to sting
bass guitar won’t start to ring
the evening gloom unfolds
and in the biting cold
recording microphones
and amps give up the ghost
vocal cords won’t start to swing
singer’s voice won’t start to sing
notebook page won’t start to fill
melody won’t start to thrill
the evening gloom unfolds
and in the biting cold
our voices’ bitter tones
and lungs give up the ghost
i don’t know where to begin
the instruments are giving in
my tired hands are withering
i hear the demons closing in

Solace

in fall when the sunflowers
bow their drowsy heads
in dreams i hear a song
a body never safe
i hear you sing along
i listen to the waves
of sound drown in the night
dissolving as you pause
the piercing violins
the growling cello drones
they haunt me through the walls
and windows of my home
the cold and raging waves
they wash from coast to coast
they carry forth your words
“don’t be sad to see me go”
and when a star explodes
its warm and blinding light
suffuses us and glows
forever in our bones
