Jack M. Senff - Full Decay

“It’s all good,” the father says
Over and over again
Hunched above the kitchen sink
A wild eye on what I can’t see
The dark beyond
Holding on, holding on
By the blurred outline of familiar shapes
And extinguished scents
From a time and place
Crashing down and collapsing in—
the here and the now with the then
Is that where he goes?
Is that where he’s been?

In the parking lot
Cheap boots and a loose coat
His face goes white
Like he’s seen a ghost
A nightmare in the plain of day
I feel him brace when she says his name
The dark beyond
Holding on, holding on
A mother and a lover in full decay,
The world loses shape—
A time and place
Crashes down and collapses in.
The here and the now with the then.
Is this where they go
Is this where they’ve been
Crashing down and collapsing in
Is this where they go?
Is this where they’ve been?
