Walden and the Willow Tree

I woke up to the sound of Alexander on my phone,

I saw you in a wicker chair, reading Edgar Allen Poe...

Far from Salem by the sea, to Walden and the willow tree

stop and ask Elias how

the beads stay on your dressing gown

and Sam is sending notes in code,

the authors lie in sleepy homes

far away from smoke and cars,

we'll lie in leaves and count the stars
