Sleeping Cranes
Ceques
The leaves, they fell off green into the September snowSome faith in a midnight highway to carry me back homeWhen my feet touched the city, I meandered about like a ghostAlive in my own memories, connected and completely aloneWith our skeletons stretched out across the tileAnd your head resting on the cadence in my chestKnowing goddamn well another hour Won't help me miss you any lessCursing at my compass on a magnet's headAn all night drive to detox in the empty SouthwestThere's horses on the hillside, a creek between my toesThinking the interstates can outrun all the things I don't care to admit to knowSome blotter and a New Mexico hotel roomTo pan all of the piss out of my brainBut all the time I spent pointing my fingerBuilt me a mirrorless tomb where it all feels okayMy fingers grazed the ceques that stretched out across your palmI tried to memorize your face so when the afterimage faded, you wouldn't be all goneAutumn stole the legs Out from under the shelter we'd madeWe watched our landscape rearrangeLetras de cancionesIn a separate stateLetting your echo resonateAnd smother the thoughts I can't face todayLooking forward to the next goodbye that I can give youNext to your letter and a telephoneI wish you'd love me foreverBut I hope you don't.
