oh, to tremble...
Aaron Mcmullan

Oh, to tremble like that fella sometimes tremblesnThat fella plays the organ like it’s boilin’ on his tonguenSpittin’ blind across the keys, those flick’rin’ notes like ashes flungnTo the whipping o’ the breezesnThe lashin’ o’ the lightnnAnd his fingers fired wi’ some beautiful rapturenSome throbbin’ in his soul all raised in lumps across his chestnSome arachnid terror swinging on his spine, he’s stood possessednBy the thousand devils laughin’nIn the gaps atween the sighsnnShe throws her head back ‘gainst the screen, she’s pushin’ my hand awaynShe says “Oh what I’d give for to sound like I have nothin’ left to say”nWhat use is a voice, she says, all shining?nAll shimmering?nnOh to conjure sapphire smoke-rings from these pagesnThese pages all impressions of those smoke-rings I recallnWindin’ up and out and throbbin’ in the cracks behind the wallsnWhere all those fellas high on JesusnScreech silent in the nightnnFor to find something that’s worth the hours o’ searchin’nFor something new to say with all these tired metaphorsnThese lines all thick wi’ lines I’ve used a hundred times beforenYeah I’m looking at these wordsnAnd yeah, I’m sickened at the sightnnAnd stood by the gates o’ the cemetery I’m craving a fresh new waynTo say, “Yeah this is what I been thinkin’ about since last I came this way”nAnd theynThey’ll smile as they watch that fresh phrase shiningnAnd shimmeringnnAnd I met a poet high on aching languagenI met her in a red-light bar-room looks out o’er the seanAnd in time I fell in love wi’ her, and she in love wi’ menAnd she kisses me like melodynMight kiss the saddest songsnnAnd I’m fishin’ for a verse or two to hand hernA verse that maybe tells her somethin’ close to what I feelnWhen she wakes me in the morning an I see the new day reelin’nIn the corners of her smilenHer smile all glistenin’ in the dawnnnAnd sometimes I’m lain there ‘neath the sheets and I’m tastin’ her dreamsnAnd I…nI’m hearin’ the songs all spun cross winding stages back her eyesnAnd I…nI’m feelin her breath against my chest, well, yeahnI’m trembling…
