about

Joe calls his wife on a pay phone and listens as she hurls vitriol.

lyrics

EZEL or maybe SARA
There’s a wide space between words
where the world can rise and fall
a time when the tongue fails
and the throat clenches
There’s space so immense between suns that
There’s a gap between people so small that
There’s an instant before danger so quick that
There’s a millisecond before love so brief that
And only the eyes stop us like anchors
Slam us to silence
Stun our hearts close to break
Or billow like a seagoing sail

On seas yellow crazed stung by salt
Plowed with foam.
And the wind takes us like toys
Into the future, even on our knees
Away from ourselves
Into eternal see.
Even the air is enough
Even the heart that beats
The flowers we throw away
The lions that we tame
I want to be an arrow that flies
Through disaster
Seeing without sight,
Hearing without sound
Standing without ground
When we cannot stand,
We must fall down
When we cannot speak,
Our words melt the air.
There’s a wide ...
Space ...
Between words.
