Crush of Mud and Light

Song 7 of the 52 Week Song Club

lyrics

"Love is a war of lightning,
and two bodies ruined by
a single sweetness."*
I don't see the use
in all of your worrying.
I know you by now
and where you are going.

I will forget
to patch all the leaks
while you clean
the cobwebs
and flush them
down the sink.

I got that red mud
crushed into my boots
from working since moonlight
pulling this tree up
by the roots.
You'll watch the dust collect
on my vacant shelves.
And, I'll watch you pace the floor
in anger as I give myself
hell.

For the broken mower
that might cut the grass
if only I could get the spark plug
to ignite all the gas.
You will hang around
and witness from the window
as we both ask ourselves
just where did the time go?
