lyrics

“Crescent”

Woven is silk and worn is rag I’ve got the clothes still on my back
Farming holes from the closets sown on the second-floor bedroom my grandfather owned
Grease in the garage filled in old milk gallons traps the flying beasts as tiny fossils
Condensation rusts out the freezer it’s August now and humidity breathes here
Dodging swipes from the broom
Through the holes in the fence
A wet dog of a ghost
Escapes down the street
A flagless pole with a swinging rope, an aluminum call ringing hollow notes
It’s August here when the heatwave breaks like the brittle straws that no barefoot could take
Pound the stakes in through a dusty earth when the hammer falls ring hollow notes
Pound the stakes in this was once lush lawn but it’s for sale now and it all must go
Steal of into the woods and find yourself a pine needle bed and pound the stakes in
Woven is silk and worn is rag let the flag fly high tonight
Dodging swipes from the broom
Through the holes in the fence
A wet dog of a ghost
Escapes down the street!
