about

Based on Jackie O. witnessing her beloved husband's assassination and somehow living beyond.

lyrics

Urgency


Seduced me,
The music reaching veins, dopamine,
Violins in a rhapsody for the violence
I later dreamed as sirens repeating the rhythm
Of remembrance, the instinct of reaching,
Crawling across the trunk halfway to where help
Stretched, another hand, its suited sleeve,
Security that man at an arm’s length…

How helpless too he was
I later realized between the shots & the skidding
Car, a pinball machine’s frenzy where my husband’s
Shattered grace bled on, a font of scarlet,
Streaming streaks to lean that way, this,
& crumple against me…

Amazing I was not grazed
Except inside, an explosion of lasers
Constantly entering my poise, my voice,
The eternal shaking for assassins & conspiracies
I detach from like a graft whose tissues, invisible,
Nevertheless ask: how, love, why?
