Nighthawks –
Anne Crson
I wanted to run away with you tonight
but you are a difficult woman
the rules of you—
but you are a difficult woman
the rules of you—
Past and future circle round us
now we know more now less
in the institute of shadows.
On the street black as widows
with nothing to confess
our distances found us
now we know more now less
in the institute of shadows.
On the street black as widows
with nothing to confess
our distances found us
the rules of you—
so difficult a woman
I wanted to run away with you tonight.
so difficult a woman
I wanted to run away with you tonight.
Yet I say boldly that I know that if nothing passed away, time past were not.
And if nothing were coming, time future were not.
And if nothing were, time present were not.
(Augustine, Confessions XI)
