Independence Day , 1976
The fireworks within the Hudson Light upward the actual graffiti in this article on East Thirteenth. We huddle inside the doorway, Watching, nodding, waking
You looked like Kansas after you obtained off of of which bus I could discover the particular grounds within your eyes, Smell the particular wind in the hair.
You have been thus brave and lost, When I took your hand everyone said There has been nowhere an individual wouldn t move Except home.
On my mattress on this floor, Windows offered to your heat, WIth the actual sirens each of our lullaby, Your tremulous palms touched The vein in which leaped from my personal heart.
I exhibited you how you can carry out it, To have this slow bullet Like comfy enjoy on the inside you.
Sweet metallic and also! a smile And that sirens fade
Into this backwoods of tears You came up falling like an angel Now we all drop daydreaming together
For Jim Carroll
