Watching Brid Cairenn
Words and Music by Lawrence C. Connolly
He pulls to the shoulder,
The hillside angles down,
Splashes through the runoff,
And parks beneath the shroud
Of overhanging branches
That cloak the moon in green.
He turns on the highbeams
And turns to Brid Cairenn.
Hey says, You wanted to go danging?
We'll here's a place I've found
Beyond the shallow runoff,
A stage of rising ground.
Beyond the dented fender,
Where the xenon beams converge,
She climbs onto the hillock
And teeters on the verge.
She says, You want to see me dancing?
We'll here's some moves I've found
That fulcrum on the ankles
and pivot on the ground.
Kinetic expectation: She turns her head askance,
Tilts in forward motion ...
And falls into the dance.
He reclines in the dash lights,
the backrest angled down.
He plays the AM speakers
That crackle with the sound.
A thousand and once dances
That set the night aring.
He turns on the highbeams
And watches Brid careen.
