Night Windows
I dreamt last night the I was sitting in my apartment the way I've been designing it, when the boys brought Ryan here a night early from Vegas. He was drunk and he had bought a bed and he put it in MY room and when I went in there I started crying because he had wrecked it...
Today he sent me a message to say he bought my present...
I haven't been able to respond.
Night Windows
"In the stick count for the song with knowing you're gone
Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here
I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling
Stop and hold my breath and watch the way we used to be
The full moon makes our faces shine like over-ironed polyester
Then disappears behind the clouds
And leaves me under empty rows of night windows
We could walk to where these streets get pulled together
Blinking, lined with gravel, shoulder squared towards an end
Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic
Where the power lines steal lessons from the hourly news
Depluralize our casualties, drown the generals out in static
We turn and watch our city sprawl and send us signals in the glow
Of night windows
But you're not coming home again, and I won't ever get to say
"Remember how I'm sorry that I miss the way it could be"
"Remember how I'm sorry that I miss the way it could be"
