only the red bricks are missing
Sam’s Bakery caught fire when it rained
the graveyard is closed Monday
London Bridge fell down
the Metro doesn’t run here
sunrise comes but once a day
Retribute
She rode the tracks
From San Francisco to Old EP
Reluctant went the while beside him.
She damned him and damned me,
And lo when came the final station
Twas her most damned of all.
Back
I carved a path where once was none
let looming azure envelop me
refuge sought and taken there
and yearning peace,
I prayed ‘neath sunless mist
flew prickly o’er the trail
snaked ’round and down
where memories dead once buried me.
