Hadley, MA

this song is about an ALIEN
lyrics
the streak of a long translucent tail
stretching ahead
and scudding nightly on the gale
flashing lights, glowing white, low and clear
crossing the sky in lazy arcs
then turning on a dime
at angles steep and wild
we were reaching out
denying the cold black silence
to prove we’re among or alone
but i never thought that’d be comforting to know
dreams like a song float through the air
out from a thousand eyes-
unblinking, unaware of what
two briefly gazing minds can find in there
