Unreckoning Hands
While you were on the road the tide rose
Jumping in the neighbor’s pool, creatures from the great deep blue
Strange troubles of our over obsessions
Such as the clock staples to our brains
Unreckoning hand,
Unreckoning hands –
Your unreckoning hands,
Flirting with disasters
Ferry stars and shadows twirl across the lakes where you were born,
Riding on a northbound train, fighting a fever that wouldn’t fade
Wearing thin as time elapses all covered in blue
How will you find our home in such wreckage?
Unreckoning hand,
Unreckoning hands –
Your unreckoning hands,
Flirting with disasters
