Rob Schackne #397 - "Light fades the evening"


Light fades the evening
sound travels different
you can sigh a little
where everything goes
it doesn't matter much to me
knives back in the drawer
cars returned to the factory
there's a girl without make-up
before the big men followed her
I say it doesn't matter much
the drowned boy sitting on the beach
the ones who would notice
not shouting they're laughing
you can sigh a little
but the sea is calm
the hand unpractised
I could unwrite all this
you'd write your first line
Light fades the evening
