Morning sits on the roofline Quiet before the traffic wakes A loose screen tapping somewhere Keeping accidental time Nobody says much out here Just small repairs and routine Daylight comes in sideways Like it always meant to Days line up As they do Some you lose Some break through Sun goes down Still leaves proof We keep on Like we do Wind moves through the power lines Low electrical hymn Heat shivers off the driveway In lines that won’t hold still A plane crosses the ceiling Of a pale afternoon Nobody knows who’s leaving Nobody needs to Days line up As they do Some you lose Some break through Sun goes down Still leaves proof We keep on Like we do I used to wait for arrival Some finish line in the air Turns out the days just stack up Careful and unaware Nothing dramatic happens Still something always moves Light leaves the room in layers And the quiet approves Days line up As they do Some you lose Some break through Sun goes down Still leaves proof We keep on Like we do Days line up As they do
