It's a Dark Night
hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night
the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him
she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again
I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago

I left my brother too, when I came here. I have three back home. It's like...shit, how do I explain this?...it's like time pauses when we come here, but no one notices, and it isn't until we go back that everything resumes. [She leaned her head into one hand.] I just made things worse, didn't I?
