James

"Sometimes"

there's a storm outside
and the gap between the crack and thunder
crack and thunder is closing in, is closing in
the rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on concrete
on a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against a wall of rain
aerial held high
calling, come on, thunder, come on, thunder

sometimes
when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul

it's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
the boy is hit
lit up against the sky like a sign, like a neon sign
then he crumples, drops into the gutter
a cut string, legs twitching
the flood swells his clothes and delivers him on
delivers him on

sometimes
when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul

there's four new colors in the rainbow
an old man's taking Polaroids
but all he captures is endless rain, endless rain, endless rain
he says, listen, takes my head, puts my ear to his
and I swear I can hear the sea

sometimes
I look in your eyes, and I see your soul
