Hung On A Thin Thread
White Hinterland

Come along in my mackinawnI'll point you where you need to gonThough our path may bend and yawnYou won't get lostnnWith my pointed prow and square sternnWe'll use our arms for oarsnTo spoor little schools of fishnMake festoon-shaped grooves in the fickle wavesn'Til the howling wind ushers us to leavennOut at sea for daysnI sleep most afternoons awaynAnd you anxiously compass usn'Til we see landnnBut the land we knewnWas now a new landscapenAnd the howling wind ushered us to leavenBut you wanted a closer looknnThen gripped to the rail, how our cheeks turned palenTo see the flying machines near clip the housesnAnd throw kisses to the sandbarnnLittle tendrils of smoke trailing out of the exhaustnIn parabolic wakes, swooping low like gullsnCausing the town to tremor and to shakenIt was clear that city was nothingnBut an aluminium piece of junknnOh, and the howling wind ushered us to leavenBut we couldn't move we stood forever changednWhen something ends, something has to beginnnWhen the filaments of fibernFrom their flares caught afirenYour hair looked like spark on a wirenI would have paid my last dollarnTo see you lambent like thatnLit by the light of ten thousand shackled sunsnBeing hung on a thin threadnnSift amongst the debris for half-hearted dreamsnRemnants of pocket changenPretty, frilly, thrown-away thingsnnGauze and dust and shards of glassnBricks and bended straws and greyhounds' teethnAnd the howling wind ushered us to leave
