I’ve made this song
using only words.
it sounds like the clack
of the pedestrian light
on red, but also like the
clatter of conkers on impact
like the motionless crows
on the lawn by the train,
like the swaying of cranes
over the grass, like the
unexplained shutdown of all
trains into town, like the
pacemaker of the woman
sitting next to you, ticke-tock
ticke-tock ticke-tock tock tock
stop but does my song also
sound like that good old
‘lay thee down now and rest,
may thy slumber be’ do you
hear my song? let my song
never come to an end! and my
song will never end, as long as
I myself don’t end.

but now here’s a song
I made without using
any words at all. hold tight!
this is where it
