Eastern Sea (The)
Plague
Across this frozen lakeI've heard a pack of feral dogs howling at the moonI used to know the pitch by heart at which they croonedBut it's sharper nowAnd in the tree, in the green above our headsI used to feel the birch leaves rattle through my spineAnd just for a moment, like I could turn back timeWell what is the future nowSo beyond these ugly hillsI've seen a square where politician's signs are hungI knew their campaign slogan in a foreign tongueBut it's nonsense nowAnd back in my hometownI remember girls whose bodies I adoredI knew their names just like then knew my revolving doorBut there's strangers nowSo above the hum of this bar tonightI think I heard you say there's only room for oneYou don't know which one of us is dying youngBut I'm sober now
