there is no greeting
there is no greeting
no thump from the second floor
difficult waiting
there is no greeting
no thump from the second floor
difficult waiting
sorrow and loss never die
however tight we lock them
they drag down our hearts
wrapped up in worry
is this how his story ends
the moon in hiding
dance with the devil
to a miss-timed midnight waltz
to vote democrat
sing the voice of dreams
in harmony with your life
envious song birds
wind lifts a leaf free
to be adrift in aether
pebbles grind to dust
to dance on nothing
until the dancing is done
whispered promises
the bones of the earth
with miles of deep green forest
ragged mountain peaks
do something stupid
and mix in some recklessness
vote republican
no ability
but through the swirl of intent
the alcohol prose
