Adrienne Rich - November 1968 lyrics
[Adrienne Rich - November 1968 lyrics]
Stripped you're beginning to float free
Up through the smoke of brushfires
And incinerators
The unleafed branches won't hold you
Nor the radar aerials
You're what the autumn knew would happen
After the last collapse of primary color
Once the last absolutes were torn to pieces
You could begin
How you broke open, what sheathed you
Until this moment i know nothing about it
My ignorance of you amazes me
Now that I watch you
Starting to give yourself away to the wind
Up through the smoke of brushfires
And incinerators
The unleafed branches won't hold you
Nor the radar aerials
You're what the autumn knew would happen
After the last collapse of primary color
Once the last absolutes were torn to pieces
You could begin
How you broke open, what sheathed you
Until this moment i know nothing about it
My ignorance of you amazes me
Now that I watch you
Starting to give yourself away to the wind
