The Center of the World
Bright Eyes
edit by
At the center of the world
there is a statue of a girl.
She is standing near a well
with a bucket bare and dry.
I went and looked her in the eyes
and she turned me into sand.
This clumsy form that I despise,
it scattered easy in her hand.
And it came to rest upon a beach,
with a million others there.
We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out
so that we could disappear
into the endlessness of blue,
into the horror of the truth.
We are far less than we knew.
Yes, we are far less than we knew
but we knew what we could taste.
Girls found honey to drench our hands.
Men cut marble to mark our graves.
Saying that we will need something to remind us
of all the sweetness that has pa*sed through us
The priests dressed children for a choir
(fresh sangria and lemon tea).
(white-robed small voices praise Him)
but found no joy in what was sung.
The funeral had begun
in the middle of the day
when you drive home to your place
from that job that makes you sleep
back to the thoughts that keep you awake
long after night has come to claim
any light that still remains
in the corner of the frame
that you put around her face.
Two pills just weren't' enough.
The alarm clock is going off
but you are not waking up.
This isn't happening, happening, happening.
It is.
