Contributor Series 9: If Men Had Ears

When I wrote new songs and you would listen out of friendship

By PD Lyons

 

Where we were always cool

By the reservoir

In the pines

Up some stairs tucked into angular corners

Warm winter kitchens smelling of gas

Down by the factories

Not sleeping all night

Into a morning of crisp clean cold

Out on the back door landing

Three flights below the city without fear we knew

PD Lyons’ most recent poem to appear here was I Thought You Were in Another Room That Wasn’t There (May 2011
