Luyện nghe bài hát Cold Spring

We drove a hundred that day
To see a parade
Skeletal in Cold Spring

Parents holding hands Pale Death's infants
Shivering on the steps in polyester robes
And bone thermals

March them to riverside square
teeth gnash together as you chew an Excedrin

On the way
The parkway wound its way back through charred black pine
Just like a
Hickory death into stagnant tracts of sky
Like whispered
Antiphonal stridency that for half a century
And are you
As lives are punctuated by

I've never loved you than when you said
"I'm so of all the things I risk with kids I never knew existed"
Time machine rotors ripping holes over
Constellations rearrange and orbit 'round the steeple of First Presbyterian

I am Mountain
I am entering oh

I am Mountain
I am entering

On the way
The empty parkway wound its way back charred black pine
like a wormhole
A becomes an island when the ends are disconnected
Wind is
Antiphonal that slept for half a century
And are you
