blazing headlights shine through the snow
frozen trees under a full moon
a broken down car lies on the side of the road
from up here the sea looks calm
another hour ‘til the light disappears
your right foot feels heavier by the minute
the water on these windows will freeze
choose a different road this time
over the mountain and across the river
on the other side you will still shine brightly
clean sheets still wrapped in plastic
the color of the ceiling will have changed since last
it is less dramatic with the door open
if this isn’t home tell me what it is
the power is out in this cold house
drive away again tonight
there is an empty building in every city
there is a drifter walking on every road
