The Night Obscene

from Real Snow by Kye Alfred Hillig

/

lyrics

Curled up upon the couch,
like handcuffs to take them out,
my old two loves.
One with teeth like dogs,
that brought the holocaust to crystal ball;
& the other chained to see
the things deepest in me: the gardener's rope.
Q; Did they show you to the room?
Q: Fill fountains of youth into blue jeans?

The night obscene:
Climbs every wall-
-Calls out my name-
like an animal that's grown too BIG for its cage

Not a father nor a child: A shaken snow globe just tossing flakes
'til the laughter's fallen flat down elevator shafts.
They want real snow, but I mapped their darkened streets
& gave the courtesy of replacing bulbs.
-But it's more than room and board
& their bodies only know one currency.
