Nov 2014
Indomitable like the sea, she rises and falls with the moon
Kissed by the currents which brought her here
To a sleepless fire escape night spent exhaling her immortal soul in to Cincinnati's open embrace
The liquor has run dry but the grass is truly greener on the other side
And it's a straight shot back up I-75
To the football field they thought they could **** her on
The first few times at least
And the prom night she spent spitting ash in haunted houses
Laughing loudest of them all
Drifting across the country
Across the lonesome west grown crowded with ghosts
And the Ohio River grown placid with complacency
Medicine angel in the mist with eyes to the stars
Because ******* she misses them back home
Not this home, the one she left her heart in
At low tide she's back on the road
To lead the skyline in harmonies sweeping up to heaven
And she may not move the stars to wake
But she will laugh the loudest of them all
