Country Song


In Davenport, in the month of June,
Above the River—a supermoon
—An eye among the violet fringed clouds
Revealed behind a dark unfurling brow.

The yellow florescence on the grill
With each mile becomes brighter still.
Like milk through the windows the world seeps
While the wheels traverse the hoary concrete.

Away blew the wind, leaving silent air
Stranded motionless above each hill.
Town lights, each problem, and savoire-faire
With each mile become dimmer still.
