So on the bus through late November running,
by yellow lights tormented, darkness falling,
the two girls sang for miles and miles together…

—Iain Crichton Smith, “Two Girls Singing”

Two Girls Singing by Iain Crichton Smith It neither was the words nor yet the tune. Any tune would have done and any words. Any listener or no listener at all. As nightingales in rocks or a child crooning in its own world of strange awakening or larks for no reason but themselves. So on the bus through late November running by yellow lights tormented, darkness falling, the two girls sang for miles and miles together and it wasn’t the words or tune. It was the singing. It was the human sweetness in that yellow, the unpredicted voices of our kind.
