Another One Done Soft, low harmonica tune come softly, welcome in the night. Softens the cold, iron bars a rare, appreciated comfort. Couple of the blacks down the row, bottom tier. Singing the spiritual, with soul almost like a lullaby. Funny the things a man holds grabs onto, won’t even let go. Guess when y’all ain’t got much a little is all it takes. Counting the bars, cracks, stains counting the times they been counted. Worn the ink from the pages ain’t got nothing but stir. Praying every prayer know them all inside out. Praying up new prayers to pray is harder than the time. Living to again be living outside will one day come. Grabbing ahold of some harmonica as another day is done. bleeding...
