lyrics

That postcard propped on a stump
Is watching me I watch it back

A city scene from eighteen ninety-what:
Turning trams… the first cars rumbling across tracks
The horse vans for ice and fat

The card expands its white border
The size of this forest almost
That mausoleum-style bank atrium’s enough
To nearly enter now…that florist

Window you have to stoop only a little
To peer in and in partial reflection spy
The girl in the cream-colored apron
Arranging sprays of fern and carnations

History is accumulating…the postcard image
Is the size of wilderness
The scenes arrive: bodies laid
In a pile just outside a commissary
Or halfway through the door

The future is walking beside us
Leg chained…whistles
And pops of fusillade
Weave the canopy
The birds scatter and a bark beetle

With blackened armor
Goes on its way among the flash and clamor
Eating flesh of trees
While overhead weave calls to mothers while dying
Unknowing that here in the Wawayanda

History is growing, taking over…it is thriving
