The Pearl River Delta

from Hapax Legomena by Pete Davis

/

lyrics

Thought the bus stopped here every day
I left the room in mostly your taste

We haven’t sensed in how many days
Words we’ve learned but just wouldn’t stay?

I’ll try now to tie down kites the sky won’t need
Clear branches of the aging trees whose
Roots never quite grew deep enough

The light at the end of the hall never turned off
Over and over, wrote over and over
Words that make it seem like it gets better
Seem like you’d forget her
Seem like you’ll regret ever fewer things now
Remember how you wished it’d sound?
