Wind From the Highway

So long, so long
To the moonlight that once shone so softly
To the tall grass, growing wild
in place of the concrete
hollow’s the sound
of the planes touching down
and I can’t tell the wind from the highway
I can’t tell the wind from the highway
Year after year
I’m cut more and more by the floodplain
With the coming of winter
They dig in my veins
Roots washed away
From mud, gas, and cutlines
Nowhere to go
But the memories of those who are leaving
Like silt in a river
Cold fire and smoke
Brittle and broke
There’s plenty more to claim

Breathing Fire

Pulled into the parking lot
Stepped out and took her coat off
Looked around for another cigarette
She’ll be gone within the hour
Road unseen, a call unanswered
Dust fills the space between her tires
Lives for the metal breathing fire
Night falls like the lie she’s living on
Another night in a motel room with the blinds drawn
Fading fast and dying slow
The silence weighs on the road
In moonlight she knows that she’s alone
Still chasing the memories that are gone
Home is where the pain is stronger
Each day is a little longer
Nothing between despair and drink
Prairie winds they howl in mourning
For the one they knew when
She was not beholden to the world
She’s not holding to the world
On a day where clouds are heavy
Rain’s clean and the highway’s empty
Snow in the hills up above
Stops the car, waits there a while
Tears in her eyes, half-crazed, beguiled
Trembling hands for the last mile
She’ll numb the pain with a smile
