lyrics

Horizon so near,
it was on my windshield.
Driving through the country on suspicion.
Wearing wool, in spring for the winter,
no intermission.
When our lanes merged, you yielded, later passed.
So long to the city.

Raising your visor
to review what had been long eclipsed.
Uncovering something,
something like this:
An unnamed urge with no shame.
I was mortified, you were the same.
Former pains surged.
You shielded, later asked.
We were not wrong. No pity, none.
Greetings to the sun,
and so long to the city.
