lyrics

ANOTHER NIGHT OF COLD BLANKETS

There is always a trigger,
a sound, a perfume,
a frame in time

Tonight, I am torn
between the graceful weightlessness
of your fingers
waltzing in the winter air
and the smooth curve
of your moving lips

This is another night
of cold blankets
and anemic traffic lights,
our dark overcoats,
like the prayer flags of Nepal,
flapping in the wind

We have lost track of words,
our voices just crossed in the night
like desperate cries for help
