it’s just another night
they go home by taxi
i go the other way
the driver looks at me
he asks where to stop
but i stay silent
it’s just another night
they go home by taxi
i go from myself
and now my only thought
that i’m short of money
for such a lifelong ride

heed the silence that follows
truer than any promise made
the sound and fury of a hidden life
you cannot dream this into submission

I wonder
how it would be here with you,
where the wind
that has shaken off its dust in low valleys
touches one cleanly,
as with a new-washed hand,
and pain
is as the remote hunger of droning things,
and anger
but a little silence
sinking into the great silence.
