Blue Ridge Incident

from Black Mission Figs by Matt Oleksa

/

lyrics

Battered, tattered
The night shattered
Moonbeams scattered around
The ruins of ivory town

Was watchin’ the river
Swollen, bitter
Slitherin’ through splinterin’ pine
Becomin’ claws clutchin’ for time

When June showed up
In her beat-up pick-up truck
And set it all on fire

A thousand trains pulled
Against the hour ice-cold
Rattled the cage
Tore the page
And leaned against my soul

The dream’s a sparrow
It rides the arrow
Shadows opened space
Then falls back into place

Nothin’ delivered
Wisteria shivered
Dew quivered on the vine
The mongrel growled down the line

When June showed up
With a coin and a cup
And kissed the backs of my ears
