Pennyrile

Turn the Earth upside down
Shake the dead things from their holes
While the memories drape
Like white chemtrails in our souls

All these hills knew my name
Long before my timeline's draw
As the moon knows each phase
Perseid and Leonid fall

And its shadow found me
And its shadow found me
There beneath it all
And with lifted hands to high we gasped and wondered at the writing on the sky
What a thing it even is to be alive

Dream the ridge and the plain
With all it's shape and color wrong
Drive the Pennyrile drag
Path of totality, God and gravity, lift our song

And its shadow found us
And its shadow found us
There beneath it all
And with lifted hands high we laughed and lingered as the darkness doused the sky
What a leap of faith it is to close your eyes

Turn your glass upside down
Dry your gin lips with your sleeve
Mark the years of hoped return
Blow a kiss before you leave
