View from a Shaky Ladder - Dick Diver

Business end of cold

Blue and green and gray

You’re wondering about wandering

And waiting in driveways

The Apostles dropping down

One by two by three

And I thought you might head out too

As well eventually

Swap the water for the tide

From a shaky ladder

I watched the bird’s eye

Of your brake lights disappear

Round the point into the night

Now blue’s gone back to red again

And junk mail sits unlettered

And I’d still say you’re coming back

If I didn’t know any better
