A Smell Like Iron

from The Breathing Bridge by Michael Bell

/

lyrics

We were in retreat, walking through low burned hills, dropping things from our packs along the trail. The sky was hanging dust. It was always dark. No one spoke.

On our flank, something moved with us, vast and hidden. We knew it from its breathing, and because it took us, one or two at a time, as we walked.

When it came for me, it rose from the ground like heat, and a laughing voice, and a smell like iron.

A Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too.

Some of this is music for video games. The rest is a fairly raw document of my ongoing attempt to find something new among the blinking lights in my studio at home.
