Among the Leaves
Among The Leaves

A pillow lays on cold cement, a blanket by a broken vent

She's there a while, and then she's gone


I'm away for weeks, arrive at night

She hears my steps, turns off the light and runs


No mind at all, more space than I need

It's just me among the weeds, among the ghosts, among the leaves


We've never met but she's a girl

Romance paper books

The floor is covered in long blonde curls


On afternoons I walk the graves

The rusted cars, the mine shaft caves

See a girl sadly unkempt, a child of neglect

Under moons I pass the tombs

Cross the highways, smell the fumes

See a girl frighteningly gaunt, somebody didn't want

How do I tell her I don't care, if she sleeps downstairs?


-


I see her on my errand runs

Looking nervous like a young Mia Farrow


Walking 'long the gas stops

Window browsing pawn shops, guns, bows and arrows
