lyrics

COMING OF AGE

Lifting the edge
of a wound while
a white cross burns.

A little red flag.
In sunlight, a sickness of bees
agitating the dark

rippling nectar of
autumn. Meridians wander
through untouched lands.

The stage pursues
the actor, now.
It drives me through my birthplace.

In the newspaper of the future
wounds were read
by light cast on the sky.

A papercut
stemmed, low tide, a clock
inherited an airstrike.

A handshake,
hour of my birthplace,
enclosed a bee.

I rage at the sky
in blue, an angel of the county
beheaded; a golf club.

In the splinters of a deck
the lovers entangled
imagine their own apartment.
