No One Was Driving The Car
La Dispute
Cutting blackness into halves where it goes
Can you see?
Through the forest headlights tunnel alone
See the shoulder
See the ash in the trees
See no sleepless creatures standing beside
No reflection from an eye thrown back
There’s no night here less nocturnal than this
Or more black
Just the car along the slope of the road
And the camera above
All watching over
Followed behind it
Downward with love
Where the low beams reach and then die
Nothing beyond it
No sense of the direction it leads
Or of the bends the road will take on the way
And every road bends
No matter what
You can see us where the camera moves in
You and I in the back
Where I'm leaning over trying to see
Past the headrest to whoever’s in front of me
And I can see an overpass approach in the night
Can’t read the words or where the arrows direct
But I can see the headlights bright
In the sign underneath
That in the mirror I might finally see
I wait there for the glow to reflect
For the light to connect
With the rearview passing under the bridge
And in the moment find you sleeping on my shoulder again
You’re so peaceful I forget
About the fear that I felt
About the dark up ahead
Of the things we don’t know
About who is or isn’t driving the car
And the direction we all go
About the threat of a bend
Because there’s always a bend in the road
And the light in ash will fade
The night will soon enfold us
Let it enfold us
As we grow onward
Even time itself grows old
And we do too
We only grow forward
Let’s just do it slower
Just add to the sum of the world as we go
Hour by hour by hour by hour
