Something Falling Slowly

from A Day Without Comfort by Nick Hudson

/

lyrics

Where world-class are generals,
Anonymous are my heroes.
I wrench my eyes wide,
There’s a lazy chaos by the riverside.

Gulls are flapping like judges
Ignored by lusters and begrudgers.
Beneath the bridge:
A place where God forgot to paint his scent;
A cove untouched by bankers, brides of government.

Algae chokes the river skin
Like acne on the face within,
Who, gaping from the riverbed
Is just a breath away from dead.

Did he jump or did he fall?
Life’s uncanny, wilful crawl calls out
“An accident? Impossible.”

To jump is to fall with conviction,
To be wiped clean of the blight, the blame, the dereliction.

There’s a lazy chaos by the riverside,
But I generally prefer to hide.
