Skyline Signal
(Lyrics: Falcone, with additions by Wishart)
Red lights pulse through shadow trees
Pitch-black eyes in last year’s leaves
“Snakelings tug, liquid coils,
from ground to limb
And all the spices hint: the day begins!"
White wings flow through buffalo clouds
Returning soft lake into salty wilds
“Dreaming how our moon has changed
Since we have strayed . . .”
Fingertips tap their code as they are
bathed in light
Light that sways, black and back to white
Fingertips tap . . . “a skyline signal”
Lights obey . . . “a skyline signal”
Metal stays, its poison strong
New fires close to no one's back
Skin-curled leaves, ripple below
Thinly-veined, slow motion sap
So eternal, this concern
Where chips of bone
And layers of cold
Slide up your stone
Accept what you can,
Change what you can’t
Ready each breath —
To kiss these lips
Before they go!
