Look On Down

Amplifier feedback haunted
hums
A sudden avalanche of aching
rises
Goodbye
...goodbye

A lonesome organ plays
the smell of rain
and
cold autumn air

Goodbye
...goodbye

A determined hand pressed against a glass
A heart full of sand
Quick
Be still

Maybe we'd
still be

Slide guitar
her voice like smoke
disappearing
sliding
away
and back
again

Small grainy castles on a shore
a swelling moat surrounds
The spilling of seas
wash over
ashore
good tidings, turned bad
moon rising
pale and scarred and so full and
far
away
and back
and away
again

Goodbye
...goodbye

Waxing
waning
always never
together ever
becoming
unbecoming

light and shadow

Nearby, a bridge
Two feet
a ledge
below, the water
shines, waves
waits...
