Crossed​-​over Contrails

from Hapax Legomena by Pete Davis

/

lyrics

When the car pulled up
To the curb outside
Left there idling, exhaust diffusing through the air
Do you remember then
The scaredest you'd ever been?
Then what happened?

Second-floor window
Lit behind its shade
Family plot we knew no one had long inhabited
In the hallway fell
Something shattering
Swore you really saw it then

Felt like we were younger that one another thought
Offering rational reasons that neither of us bought
Left to rely on lessons that we had never been taught

Turned so cold that day
A watercolor gray
We never met, my eyes fixed on your eyes fixed on the grave
And then you turned away
Nothing left to say
