Old Low Light #2 - Kathryn Williams

There’s an old low light it flicks on and off

Like our opinions

Three hours without a word

Then you stroke my arm

There’s an old low light in me

And it switches on

It’s not visible to anyone but our love lives

There- I can feel it glimmer

It’s slow and quiet and stares out at years

And it makes me love you more

More, more, more, more

In a different city bed in my sister’s house

There’s an old low light it keeps me awake

Without the shape of you

Track four on a CD you made for me

There’s a note like light and it changes the air

And it makes me love you more

More, more, more, more, more

It’s not visible to anyone but our love lives

There- I can feel it glimmer

It’s slow and quiet and stares out at years
