lirik lagu believing in iron – yusef komunyakaa
the hills my brothers & i created
never balanced, & it took years
to discover how the world worked
we could look at a tree of blackbirds
& tell you how many were there
but with the scr-p dealer
our math was always off
weeks of lifting & grunting
never added up to much
but we couldn’t stop
believing in iron
abandoned trucks & cars
were held to the ground
by thick, nostalgic fingers of vines
strong as a dozen sharecroppers
we’d return with our wheelbarrow
groaning under a new load
yet tiger lilies lived better
in their languid, august domain
among paper & c0ke bottles
foundry smoke erased sunsets
& we couldn’t believe iron
left men bent so close to the earth
as if the ore under their breath
weighed down the gray sky
sometimes i dreamt how our hills
washed into a sea of metal
how it all became an anchor
for a warship or bomber
out over trees with blooms
too red to look at
