dull twilight spits hesitant sulphur rain
sky been down around our ears for weeks
only once--gap-glimpsed moon over that anal-retentive border wall
as we laughed through some midnight checkpoint under yellow urban cloud
weeks of frantic motion--petrol veins of europe pumping
through scratchy acid-bitten transparent winter trees
through brownish haze that makes a ghost of the horizon
i'm rushing after some ever-receding destination
berlin tonight
table-dancing in black tights
waving a silver crutch in the blue lights
shapechanging over glass
on the front line of the last gasp
green shoots of winter wheat and patches of snow
russian walks dog in saxon field
from the top of a solitary tree like the one on the flag of lebanon
unblinking eye of hawk follows traffic on the autobahn
tank convoy winds down smokestack valley
proud chemical pennants wave against the sky
turret gunner laughs when i throw up my hands
i'm all glasses and grin to him under my 'commie' fur hat
berlin tonight
table-dancing in black tights
waving a silver crutch in the blue lights
shapechanging over glass
on the front line of the last gasp
Bruce Cockburn is a Canadian singer-songwriter born in 1945. He began his career in the 1960s, releasing folk albums influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Throughout the 1970s, his songs often explored themes of Christian faith, but in a non-preachy way, emphasizing compassion for others. In the 1980s, his music became more political, with songs like "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", inspired by his experience in a Guatemalan refugee camp on behalf of Oxfam. Cockburn has always enjoyed great popularity in Canada, where he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001. Some of his most important albums include "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws" (1973), "Last Night Of The World" (1984) and "The Charity Of Lovers" (1991). Among his most representative songs are: "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" and "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen cover).
