Rain Song

Shush, shush, shush, shush…

Shush, shush, shush, shush…

Tires whispering a song,

Stirring rain and highway

Grit into a message my

Heart is glad to take at

Surface, for once; it’s been

So long since I was ready

To look at anything that way.

It feels like this is the day

My soul’s come home,

Wearing the face of a man

Too tired to tell the story

Of where he went without

First taking a moment or

Night to feed his gut and

Rest his eyes.

And that’s just fine because

I don’t know where to start to

Try to explain what I’ve been

Doing with his house.
