Scaffolding

from Be Well! by Gabriel Coleman

/

lyrics

scaffolding covers the mural and the windowpane
and we all tell each other we like it better this way
for when it gets dark we climb up and look down at the place
where we once stood and looked down in the light of midday

but i thought i saw you
lying on the ground in the middle of the street last night
and i thought i saw you when i was looking down from upon that great height

did you see me too
up on the scaffold silhouetted by the street light
did you see me too
carried by the air between us in that warm night

how thick is a surface?
brick upon steel
how thick is a surface?
how do you feel?

we cling to a thin film
scaffold on the underlying structure
when you are above
do you understand what stands under
