Anxious Night
I've got one eye open and the other lid closedSleep is fitful, paranoia growsGot a guilty conscience and a worried lookA horseshoe pendant on my rabbit's footSo much is so unclear simply being here I've got deadbolt locks and a motion detectorFloodlights burning with mercury vaporClock strikes midnight and I look aroundFor something suspicious inside and outSo much unspoken fear simply being hereAnother anxious nightIn this old house on a gravel roadAnother anxious night Against the ditch bank's bristling shoulderAnother anxious nightSometimes you reap what you don't sowAnd I can't figure out whyThis dead wind won't blowSwitch on the light, try to do a little readingWonder what just might fit the mood of this eveningFlip open a book by WG SebaldSoon I'm falling into entropy's mawIt is the folly of King Lear simply being hereLetras de cancionesWood siding's rotting, shingles are leakingFoundation settling, black mold creepingThe bluebird radiance alighting on our daysIs subject to the scythe of time and decay Everything slips out of gear simply being hereAnother anxious nightIn this old house on a gravel roadAnother anxious night Against the ditch bank's bristling shoulderAnother anxious nightSometimes you reap what you don't sowAnd I can't figure out whyThis dead wind won't blow
