wounds of recollection - backyard burial lyrics
Loading...
i’m winding down a crumbling road
bow and arrow clenched as pretend soldiers march up the brick stairs
the lowest part was a backyard burial
she taught me loss, she taught me to care
i carry her warmth into the cascade of age
i grew inch by inch through the southern summers
the friends i knew float by, carried like pollen in the air of june
i miss the honeysuckles dancing softly to the beating of the season
time hurried anxiously away from me
as i settled deep into youthful pause
as the life i lived scratches at my reaching palms
