Lyrics

I met you where the bronze bell wept
Where every strike left a green note hanging in the throat of the tower
You were not the bell nor the tongue that hit it
You were the slow surprise that came after
A bruise of ocean breathing through metal
A color that only arrives when the world forgets to defend itself
You smell of pennies kissed by a thousand palms
Of cathedral doors opened for weddings funerals midweek doubts
You taste of storm water left three days in a forgotten chalice
Of copper pipes dreaming in the dark behind plaster
I have licked you from the statue's ankle at dawn
And become a myth no guidebook mentions
Verdigris turn me inside out
Let my ribs go aquamarine in the moonlight
I want to be the thing the air makes
When it loves something too hard to keep it bright
There is a shipwrecked compass in my chest
Its needle swims its north is you
I follow the green flare of your corrosion
Through archives through fish markets through insomnia's nave
Every breadcrumb you shed is a flake of ancient roof
And the birds carry you off in their beaks like stolen currency
O slow contagion
Teach me the patience of rooftops
How to surrender century after century
And still hold the rain's shape
I have seen you powder the eyelids of a saint in Kraków
Veil the hinges of a cello that once played for czars
You are the hush between the note and the rust
The rumor that keeps bronze from bragging forever
I press my ear to your patina and hear
The soft collapse of empires turning into jewelry
Verdigris turn me inside out
Let my heartbeat oxidize in public view
I want to be the evidence that time was here
A green signature across the copper of afternoon
When they scrape you away to restore the original shine
I will collect every curling leaf of you
Fold you into the pages of unsent letters
Addressed to every lover who feared imperfection
We will brew tea with those shavings
Sip the tang of becoming something else
And dance barefoot on the flagstones
Until the soles of our feet go antique
One and a two and a three and a
The bell rings again but softer
As if it too has learned the mercy of decay
I remain
A man shaped stain of verdigris
Waltzing alone
Greening the silence
