lyrics
LASHES
Alan Semerdjian
Lashes like camel’s tongues.
Lashes like desert lightning.
Lashes like goat hooves
cracking stone.
Lashes like infinity, the mountain.
Lashes on a map.
Lashes like a point, lashes like a compass.
Lashes with intention
at the border in the rain.
Lashes love pain.
Lashes love borrowing.
Lashes the necklace, lashes the jewel,
Lashes the land title,
the house, the mule in the lashed yard.
Lashes to make love to.
Lashes to rub against
Lashes to fall.
Lashes to fall.
Lashes to fall.
Lashes in the baklava, the lahmajoun,
the tabouleh, in jar of pickled
vermillion beets over time.
Lashes like other things
you can’t pronounce.
