Another Country : Hickory Wind



A dead weight.


A desert night

Black

Strung out

As our bootlace ties.


The gasoline smell

A faraway city

The fleeting shadow of a man with a spear

Caught in the flames.


A promise kept.


I remember the oak tree

That we used to climb


Still


Someone should say something

As a hickory wind

Blows the smoke South.
