Lyrics

radiant with terror lyrics adapted from
 robert lowell's "fall 1961"
 adapted from robert lowell's brilliant "fall 1961."
 "back and forth and back and forth
 goes the tock of the orange, bland, ambassadorial
 face of the moon on the grandfather clock.
 all autumn long, the chafe and jar of dirty bomb
 we have talked ourselves to death.
 I swim like a minnow
 behind my studio window.
 Our end drifts nearer,
 the moon lifts,
 radiant with terror.
 The state
 is a diver under a glass bell. ..."
 A father's no shield
 for his child.
 We are like a lot of wild
 spiders crying together,
 but without tears."
