lyrics

she took the last train to Texas
for her friend had taken ill
she left a piece of her necklace
an ode to return like a razorbill
stumbling through the dusk and dawn
so long, so long, so long, so long
a solitary crow in the street
scraping sustenance from trash
do stomach pangs keep it from sleep
when it fears that it won’t last
I hear the horns in the harbor
warning ships of cloaked terrain
her heart was never moored here
stretching out across the arid plains
bowed beneath the shower’s stream
I recall the hurried plans
but no piece of her belongs here
she’s scattered in the flatlands.
