A Year on a Slow Train

My blood is strange and i can’t sit still

the photo booth strip in my fist

a year on a slow train

come home to the locks changed

driving on a long, slow night

wake up to the brake lights brights 

a call from the heartland

loose ends to amend

you said it’s over, over and over again

the service then we fill the cars 

a straight line with the hazards on

the sun makes the steering wheel

burn like an oil field
