lyrics

Central Pennsylvania sundown:
the clouds ripple and
swell like
curdled milk.
And I swallow it up
Into my lungs—
keep it down,
grip the wheel with my back to home.

Ahead of me I can hardly see the sun—nothing but
crumbling cement
and pretty pollution.
Behind me, your stare
glitters like
broke glass. You fail to burn up,
a season that
just won’t pass.

Sullen royalty lines these
streets—graying gowns and no water to wash their
sheets. I wrap myself in all they offer.
Smother myself
and hide
what’s left
in my breast’s
coffer.

Ahead of me I can hardly see the sun—nothing but
crumbling cement
and pretty pollution.
Behind me, your stare
glitters like
broke glass. You fail to burn up,
a season that
just won’t pass.

All we said could have been
said better
if we knew what to say
when it mattered.
