about

for Kevin Wessels

lyrics

The feel of 7:30 in a room I rent for quarters on the dime
The taste of heavy breathing like cold metal on a tide from out of time
washes over me,

and then I see
an angel from a place I’ve heard before
walks in through the door,
but I’m not sure
He sits down on the couch to watch some sports
I lay down on the floor

The smell of sex and silence like that thing you meant to say but then forgot
The weary men of Gouverneur have all laid down their ploughshares and just stopped
trying to get free,

and then I see
an angel from on high stops in to say,
“You can choose another name.
Sweat out the shame.”
She looks me in the eyes as if to speak.
It’s the season of the meek.

The sight of light contracting in the blood red hue of noses, barns, and skies
The sound of church bells tolling through the ether to the bedroom where I lie
The rainbow glow of prisms breaking Day-Glo trails to places I can’t find
The honesty of mothers and the reek of good fruit rotting on the vine
stopping up the wheel,

and then I feel
an angel’s hands are opening my mouth
The words are coming out,
spittle and doubt
Rising from the city swell and streets
It’s really not that deep
An angel from on high stops in to say,
“You can choose another name.
Sweat out the shame.”
They look me in the eyes as if to speak.
It’s the season of the meek.
