Untitled Verses for Distances

From on our street

We disappeared

In 19 months

Maybe the clear 

But some are gone

It's someone's fault

He shrugged and walked

That stupid walk

Sometimes I wave

Across the yard

When Frank waves back

It looks so hard 

I saw a deer

Last night at dusk

I said don't go

He said I must

But I recall

When we would smile

We stayed like that

For quite a while

Now summer's here

And autumn too

Ice everywhere 

No spring in view

We're all alone

We're only songs

The band packed up

We sang along

The stars are dead

The night has blurred

One buffalo

Said have you heard?

We're beautiful

Cause we're so blind

We think we're brave

We fall in line

I stood outside

You by my side

We watched the snow

You said let's try

It makes no sense

It's such a gift

But we let go

And just like this

And just like this

You understand

It's up to us

There is no plan

And just like this

You understand

It's up to us

Woman and man

But I recall

When we would smile

We stayed like that

For quite a while
