lirik lagu john ashbery - song
the song tells us of our old way of living
of life in former times. fragrance of flowers
how things merely ended when they ended
of beginning again into a sigh. later
some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
speed toward a totally unexpected end
like clocks out of control. is this the gesture
that was meant, long ago, the curving in
of frustrated denials, like jungle foliage
and the simplicity of the ending all to be let go
in quick, suffocating sweetness? the day
puts toward a nothingness of sky
its face of rusticated brick. sooner or later
the cars lament, the whole business will be hurled down
meanwhile we sit, scarcely daring to speak
to breathe, as though this closeness cost us life
the pretentions of a past will some day
make it over into progress, a growing up
as beautiful as a new history book
with uncut pages, unseen ill~strations
and the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:
backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
taking us far into sleep. a dumb love
