Promotions Group took inspiration for their artwork from a song entitled “New York I love you” by LCD Soundsystem. The following is my written dedication. Thanks for choosing such a sweet piece guys! xx tj.
New York Hymn
The sun screams loud as it dusty’s in,
the dusty louvres let him in.
If only they had kept at bay
that hymn that to this very day
can paint me black, lure me away,
force my heart to yesterday.
I can’t resist that fist, but then,
nor could you – and now again:
I am five and you are ten.
A can of coke as evidence,
your nobly meek confession.
An eternal moment’s sweet silence,
then we, are taught, a lesson.
We kneel before our brutal hymn
and sing in shame until Amen.
Outside the maid finds coke cans missing:
I took five and you took ten.
Blinking hard I return to now
with calm and dread I dial somehow.
She knows before I’ve even dared,
her babies fatally unpaired.
Your bruises hidden in sparkled snow,
the New York blizzard your final show.
I laugh out loud, my clever big bro!
For never again, shall you be ten.
