notes for a sentimental poem

walking home under the stars

listening to music from another continent

electric magic I might never comprehend

lyrics in a language I don't know

sung in a voice that makes me want to cry out loud

but the dark road and the endless way

[in leaves underfoot and speckled worlds overhead]

makes silence perfectly preferable 


electric magic I'll never comprehend

flashing roadworks signs

and stillness my only friend
