He was wearing that blue button down shirt
The one she use to iron
When the morning
Felt her skirt like the cotton
It seized from the farms
On the bridges
That surrounded their home.

He combed his hair,
Parted it slightly
Just enough that the hairs
Wouldn't mind if he stared
At them over and over again

He stared into the mirror
With those soft eyes
Oh he stared
With his brother in mind
He kept hearing the voices
The loud cries from his brother's room
Those cries that left the sullen wind
Leaving its signature with the dark moon

He cried on his footsteps
The very ones he use to remember
His wife and him, together
pieced like the far fruit of the south
With its oranges and bananas ripening with the suns bright gaze.

He remembered those tears,
That touch of life that
Stayed locked away
At the shed beneath kips bay

Oh, how time flies
Rivers and rides
Suns and tides
Please donÕt ever let go of the way he cries.
