lirik lagu howard nemerov - thanksgrieving
above me as i walked home the streetlights shone
through the leaves of autumnal maples
and i wondered
how could one not regret?
they shimmered bright and red, echoes of the sun
filtered through the chaotically colored canopy
my hands were just becoming cold
with that first faint whisper of a chill
on its way, weeks away
with a prescient remembrance of winters past
once in a blizzard in coney island on christmas day
we walked far out onto the pier
black waves roiling inaudibly under the whistling wind
barely visible beneath the driving white
the air itself become a being
the snowflakes small and hard and dry
cold sand against our cheeks
translated onto the frigidity, shimmering surreally
just outside our vision as we hunched against the gales
the puerto ricans are dancing still
bare feet caressing the boards with a steady salsa beat
and the mexicans are selling coronas for a dollar
from a cooler in a big red cart
and a man with a painted beard and a painted poodle
walks by in a wedding dress streaked with paint
and out on the broad expanse of beach every speck of sand
demands a child of its own to walk on it
or dig in it or shovel it aside
and the indian women are letting their bright saris
whip up from their shoulders like fire
memory in every moment
what have we not done before?
what will we not miss?
present in those quietly rustling leaves
is the promise of shifting eddies of snow
on the stark, silent beaches
blowing in a day made dark before dusk
whirling around and around, endlessly around
