lyrics

First the windows gray, then
go black again, but gray is
on the way. Williams lights up
and says, It’s on the way, but
I can’t hear him over the over-
head cranes. I don’t look up
because up is not sunlight
breaking above the eastern
hills or even rain clouds
meant to cool our fevers or
telephone wires clogged with
bad news. Up is the flat steel... (cont)
